~Christlike Attributes~

I had the opportunity to teach this lesson in Relief Society. It led to a great discussion and a very beautiful moment between my mother and I.  I also recognized that my prayers were answered. When I was first married to my wonderful husband, I was very concerned about the fact that I was not patient.  I was just like my father, whom I love, but has little patience.  I was afraid I was going to be the scary impatient mother and my husband was going to be kind and patient, the kids would be afraid of me.  I remembering kneeling down and praying specifically for this Christlike attribute of patience.  Heavenly Father blessed me with 6 children, 3 have cerebral palsy, 2 have depression and are bi-polar and one was a preemie with lung disease and health problems.  God answers our prayers in mysterious ways.  I still am striving daily to be like my Savior, but I was so excited when I was teaching this lesson and realized I have been now blessed with patience, my numbers were low on the other attributes, but my prayers were answered. I am a 4-5 on patience, a Christlike attribute that I specifically prayed for and He had answered with these beautiful children. And it's been a wonderful blessing to watch my father, their grandfather, grow in patience. Now, I need to pray specifically for more Christlike Attributes....... Not sure I am ready to be baptized by fire again quite yet. He answers our prayers.

 So proud of these amazing girls!! Charlotte amazes me!! As a mother you look for your children's talents, sports, music, art....? my kiddos with Cerebral Palsy Struggled! What was their talent? What can I support and help them grow in? It started to occur to me that everyone told me that Charlotte was an inspiration. Ok, this is wonderful! But, how do you work on this talent? Then I realized, every fast Sunday she was sharing her testimony and inspired the congregation. She did it on her own, no matter how hard it was to speak or to even make her body work correctly to get to the pulpit, life is hard for her but she doesn't let it stop her. She has found her way to speak and perform in front of 100's -1000's of people and share her talent, her inspiration! ~All over the United States, by radio, TV, on stage etc.  Her biggest audience has been 6,000 people.  I am so proud of her!  She has no fear and such confidence! What an example she is to me!

It was so fun to see her share her talent at Evening of Excellence, especially when there was a time that I wasn't sure of her talents! What an extraordinary girl!

And her sister, Kalicia, got to join her sister for New Beginnings and Evening of Excellence.  I can't believe this naturally talented girl is going to be in Young Women's this year!  She is growing up into a beautiful young women!
