Big Brother/Elder Nelson

 

 We went for a walk the other day.  I was proud of the kids and how well they did.  Once it was time to turn around John Derek wanted to run ahead a play on the toys.  I said that was fine but as he started to run little Michael called out to him in desperation running as fast as his little legs could carry him.  The sweet brother that John Derek is, stopped, walked back, took his hand and went together with him to the park.  At one point I almost caught up with him ans JD was placing Michael on his back as Michael was getting tired of walking.  JD is such a good kid.  He has a heart of gold and I love seeing that heart shine through.

For Family Home Evening we watched a message from Elder Nelson about making the Sabbath a Delight.  As I watched this video I reflected on the numerous articles I have read concerning the Sabbath Day.  Any of them that were written after this last general conference mention Elder Nelson's talk.  With the brethren's focus on the Sabbath Day Elder Nelson's talk has been a guiding light and a firm testimony of how to keep the Sabbath Day Holy.  We have now had 3 apostles die in the last few months.  This made Elder Nelson the President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and possibly the next president.  Now I am not saying that I want to loose Pres. Monson, but as I watched Elder Nelson that day I felt that the Lord is preparing the Church for Elder Nelson to become the next prophet.  It was a testimony to me and a sweet confirmation.
