We had general relief society meeting tonight and it really got me thinking. Over the last month or so we had struggled with Zach and his sense of frustration. We found ourselves telling him no a lot and really just getting frustrated ourselves. I want to share a conversation that Kenny and I had with him tonight that made me think even deeper about my family and the importance of life at home.
Kenny and I were discussing the content of the meeting and I mentioned how it was said that in these times that can be quite scary in the world, our homes need to be the refuge from the storms. Sometimes our home is not.
Zachary: Mommy, mommy, mommy...I dont like storms. Storms make things dark. They turn out the lights.
Kenny: Yes, Zach they can do that and we need to have the protection we need from those storms....
This really made me think about the storms that can brew sometimes between parents and children. The light of Christ can't be in a home where frustration dwells and emotions rage. I want my home to be peaceful and orderly where my kids feel they can go at all times to protect them from the storms outside our home. I guess I have some work to do.

That was great insight, we all need a good reminder of what is the big picture. I love when we have those ah-ha moments. What a good mommy you are!
We all have work to do, and we need to stay positive about it. Your kids are growing up so fast and they are so cute.
