A good lesson

Sophie was in charge of our Family Home Evening lesson last night. Here is what she wrote down with zero help from anyone (I typed it straight from her notebook & wanted it to look just how she'd written it, hence the typos):


There's two ways to go. Follow Lousifer or Satin, or God. God lets you choose to! If you follow Satin you feel satisfied at first but sooner or later you feel tarible! If you repent you are forgeven (which is a relif!) Like the story of Enos he felt bad about his sins and put down his bow and arrow and prayd all day and all night for repentec. This story teaches me to not sin and go serve God don't let Satin catch up! If you end up on the rong path pray for repentence and it will be given to you.

Being a parent is hard work and sometimes I wonder what the heck I'm doing, and how in the world I can help my kids learn the things they need to be happy and to have a desire to live the gospel. It's times like these that reassure me that the things we are trying to teach are sinking in!

How precious is that? That is so neat to see when they show you just how much they really were listening!

Isn't it amazing when they show that they are listening. Usually it is only a glimpse here and there, but so reassuring.
