I don't know what was up with me yesterday, is it old age? I was very emotional about several things.
My day started with scripture study with the family as we finished reading the book of First Nephi, the last few scriptures are of Nephi's testimony of the truthfulness of the things written on the plates. I have prayed about whether the Book of Mormon was true long ago, I was so touched to the truthfulness of it testified to me again. Then Gabriel brought home his first second grade essay. It was about me, how much he loves me and how much joy I bring to his life. Those simple little things bring a mother so much joy. Last night we had our RS Birthday, we talked about our hands, our serving hands, our hands of joy, gratitude, unconditional love. We talked about how our hands are like Christs hands that we are here on this earth to do the Lord's work, to do his will and that is to feed his sheep. We ended with a short movie called "His Hands". I love the song anyway, but with the pictures I couldn't stop the tears. I felt so much love for him, for my Heavenly Father and so much gratitude for the blessing I have because of this gospel.
I also felt a lot of love and gratitude for my hubby. I tease him because he wears the same red "Angels" sweatshirt everyday to work in (he works at home) something about his messy hair and red sweatshirt touched my heart today. (Maybe because I washed it and it was clean!)
