No ' You' Turns Allowed

There is one lesson that seems to be pounded into my brain and heart continually throughout my life, and yet I still don't seem to get it. Heavenly Father will give me what I need. Not what I want. I always end up far better than I ever could have imagined. However it is still hard, in the middle of it all, to let go and trust that even though it may hurt, I will come out of it better, stronger, and closer to God.  I intend to write more on this later (actually I have intended to write about this since the middle of December...) but for now this will have to speak the volumes that are weighing down my heart.

Nephew Prayers

I love listening to my Nephew's prayers.  I have been visiting family for the Holidays.  During our nightly story time and prayers my one nephew who is 6 prays for the following:  "We are thankful for our house and all the stuff in it, thankful for the Oxygen and Hydrogen and the Carbon Dioxide in the air so we can breathe.  Thankful for wood and the plants.  Please help us to play the Wii well and that Mario won't die die (You can die, but if you die you have to continue).  He is such a smarty that everything is scientific.  My other nephew is so in tune with others' feelings and he always prays for others.  They are the cutest!!
