scripture POWER
This picture pulls at my heartstrings - first because of guilt, and the other because of pride. The guilt comes from the fact that I told Kyle to wait in bed for me (I don't remember what I was in the middle of) and I would come up and read him a story and listen to his prayers before he went to sleep (our nightly routine). It took a little longer than I planned to finish whatever it was I was doing and by the time I got to his room this was how I found him. This little boy crashes within a few minutes of his head hitting the pillow. He plays hard and then is out like a light when he crawls into bed. I wished I had been quicker to get to his room. I hate disappointing my kids.
The pride came from seeing what he had chose to do while waiting for me. The book he fell asleep reading is a child's illustrated adaptation of The Book of Mormon. He was reading his scriptures. He loves reading the scriptures. He loves hearing all the stories. I am so proud of the person he is becoming! I know how much he loves his Heavenly Father and strives to do what is right...
I made a promise to myself to be better at getting in to Kyle quicker when he is going to bed. I've been doing pretty good!
