Derek and I had gone to the temple Saturday evening and did not return home until late. Michael had a difficult night and so we both woke up exhausted Sunday morning. I ended up in tears and prayed for help. I remembered the TOFW clip about God putting His hand on my cheek and prayed for that. After taking a nap I woke still tired but full of patience. Derek had left for meetings and I got the children ready. I felt the hand of the Lord giving me patience the whole morning as well as at church and then for the rest of the day. I felt that the Lord truly had put His hand on my cheek and gave me the strength that I did not have. What a blessing it is to have the peace of the Lord in my life. I feel His peace, love, and kindness and am not sure what I would do without it.
It was a beautiful evening last night, we ended up with 10 kids in our back yard that did not belong to us. I love it when my house is the magnet for the neighborhood, then I know where my kids are and I know they are safe.
I watched this video titled: Jesus Teaches that We Must Become as Little Children and quotes: Matthew 18:1-11; Mark 9:38-42.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.--So when I have received His children into my home, to be their mother, I have received Christ? This changes my perspective on children. I am going to try to treat them the way I would treat Christ. It also makes me realize that when other children come into my home I need to treat them as I would Christ.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.--I will try to not offend my children because of my weaknesses. I will try to Love them as I Love Christ.
