EASTER SUNDAY
We all got up early SUNDAY like really early. So instead of the original plan of waiting till after church to start our new EASTER TRADITIONS on our own, we decided to do it in the morning since we were all up.
So the night before i put a lil basket together nothing huge but just a lil something for her. We didn't want the main focus of EASTER being about the bunny and some eggs, but to represent gifts of LOVE from her parents like the LOVE of our SAVIOR.
Just her excitement in the LiL things makes it all worth it. She opened up her LiL basket and played w/her things for a bit while i made breakfast. After breakfast we sat and talked about;
WHAT EASTER MEANS TO US
WHAT EASTER IS
WHY WE CELEBRATE EASTER
HOW WE CAN SHOW OUR LOVE FOR OUR SAVIOR
Sometimes its hard to teach your child when ur husband is also a child..lol Our conversation was cut short and the continued to play w/the Easter stuff and eat candy.
Lets just say things didnt go so smoothly and my husband decides he doesnt want to go to church not feeling the spirit too much i dont either. My daughter on the other hand still wants to go to church and just her face as she says "i thot we were going to celebrate Easter by going to church" So of course I take my daughter to church. I just want to say how GRATEFUL i am for my daughter she reminds me that i need to be PATIENT. i forget what I'm mad about and all the frustration goes away.
She is the MOST PATIENCE out of the 3 of us! I realized how GRATEFUL I am to my FATHER in HEAVEN for my daughter, for BLESSING me with her because he knew I need her.
We went to church just the 2 of us and we had a GREAT SABBATH filled w/the SPIRIT and UPLIFTING speakers who spoke right to my HEART. If I had let Satan win, I would have missed out but because of my daughter I gained a GREATER LOVE FOR MY SAVIOR and my HEAVENLY FATHER.
We came home from church relaxed had another lesson on following in our Saviors way, had an EASTER EGG HUNT in our apartmnt, our Bishop came an visited us in our home and brought a SWEET SPIRIT with him that you can just feel. We met up w/bbys Aunty Tai ate sum BBQ and hung out. FAMILY TIME is the BEST TIME and I LOVE it! So in all our EASTER SUNDAY ended on a good note.
But as I reflect on my day the BEST PART is my DAUGHTER and her GREAT EXAMPLEs she sets for me her MOM!)
My daughter has a BIG HEART and so LOVING so easily to FORGIVE she loves to HELP and shes so PATIENT it reminds of the scripture;
MOSIAH 3:19
For the natural man is an enemy to And because of her i TRULY understand this!
I wanna be just like her when I grow up..
Mommy LOVES you!
