I love learning from my kids. I am trying to be better about slowing things down so that we can have great talks together and so that I don't miss teaching moments with them. Today we had a great teaching moment, but I wasn't the teacher, Nicholas was.
We were at church and Nicholas was sitting on my lap during the sacrament. Lately he has been doing this cute little "happy dance" wiggle thing whenever he is excited about something...mostly food. He saw the bread coming and did his little happy dance. He took a piece of bread and then looked up a the deacon and said the best he could, "Thank You!" The boy didn't respond, so Nicholas said it again, "Thank You!"
Nicholas saying, "Thank You" made me think about how grateful I am for my covenants. It made me want to be better about telling my Savior how grateful I am that He would give His life and allow me to make convenants with Him to give my whole life. I hope my kids know that I am grateful for my covenants. They are what keeps us together and what keeps us headed in the right direction. Saying, "Thank you" doesn't seem like enough, but it is a good place to start.
Thanks Nicholas for the wonderful reminder.
