You are so Beautiful/Israel of Old

Maddie had her Christmas Program at preschool.  As we got ready for the program she put on a red velvet dress and we did her hair in pigtails.  She then told me she had to put on her cute eyes so she fluttured her eyelashes and then looked up at me.  She is adorable and loves to use that to her advantage. 

She is the beautiful one on the top row far right.

After the Program Grandmommy took us out for lunch.  She went into the play area while we waited for our food.  When we all sat down to eat she told us that there was a boy in the play area who told her that she was beautiful.  He made quite an impression upon her.  Boys always have a great influence upon us women even when we are only 4.

We Are a Covenant-making People, Elder Joseph Anderson, of the First Quorum of the Seventy

"However, Israel of old failed to keep the covenants, and as a result the Lord was displeased with them and calamities befell them.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this day is a covenant-making people."

--Israel of old failed in keeping their covenants with the Lord. They were punished and not allowed into the Promised Land. We too make and have made covenants with our Heavenly Father. If we do not keep these covenants we will have blessings taken from us. I think today it is on a more individual basis rather than a whole nation. But then I look at our country and see us loosing our blessings because of our wickedness. It may not be quite as immediate as the old House of Israel but it is there.
