Taft's Prayer

In our house we take turns praying to avoid having issues with fighting over who says it.  Tonight was Taft's turn to pray.  We pray right after we do family scripture study. Lately we have been doing scriptures from the children's version of the Book of Mormon and tonight we read about Alma and Amulek and their mission to the Zoramites.  They had lost their faith in Christ and were having problems with faith. Taft obviously picked up on a lesson from the story because without any prompting he asked God to help us have faith in Jesus Christ and to never give up that faith. He asked that we would be missionaries and that we could help others know about Christ and have faith in Him as well.  Grateful to have the Book of Mormon to teach us these important life lessons and grateful for a son who listens and learns and wants to apply the teachings/lessons.

The day started out great with homemade waffles and buttermilk syrup that Trey and Trenton helped make. We added a little vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries to top it all off. Quite delicious! Then Amber helped the boys make valentines boxes to put their valentines in. It was quite the time consuming effort.  I am always so impressed with how willing Amber is to give so much of her time (as in...like all of it) to the kids. It is amazing to watch. Family truly is central to the Creator's plan for all of us!
