Saturday we went to Hope Reins and volunteered. We began by picking up sticks around the property. It is so beautiful there.
Michael loved finding a big pile of previously gathered sticks and taking them to the fire pit. He was a hard worker and didn't want to stop.
Then we began our pooper scooper job.
Doing this job really laid to rest any desires of my children to own their own horse.
All the kids worked really hard. It was good to go out and get some service done. Maddie would bring me an empty rake. I would hand her the one that I had loaded and she would haul it to the wheelbarrow and then return for the next one. Michael would come to me and ask for "meatballs" to put in his shovel.
Learning from General Conference as a Family
"You
always have time for the things you put first," which is why teaching
and having fun with her children is something she finds time for every
day!
The article was good but what I really enjoyed was the statement made at the end of the article describing the author. It makes me ponder where my priorities are. But then I am sweetly reminded by the Spirit that I am enough, that I am a good mother, that I don't need a drastic change, but just need to keep moving forward following the promptings of the spirit. That these children are His children and He is taking care of them. I just need to have faith in Him and follow His plan and it will all work out.
