my friend, sarah, takes a photo of her family every sunday. i love this idea-- to document and journal a growing family. i have decided to do the same with my own family and expand to it by documenting our sunday experiences.
march 15th:: our first sunday, all four of us for all three hours. in the trenches of motherhood, i sometimes wonder if church attendance is worth the experience. i'm trying to take home one message every week for inspiration. today in sacrament, our high councilman told a story of his wife many years ago. she had made an observation, stating, "remember when we were dating, it was so romantic when we sat so close on our drives. now there's all this space in between us!" he replied, "well, i haven't moved!" he then expressed the need to let our Heavenly Father take control of the steering wheel and make a continual effort to grow closer to Him.
i got to say the closing prayer for sacrament today. and i blessed that we would all make an effort to do just that.

ReplyDeleteAmen!!!! :):) To all of it!❤️ It's amazing how challenging it is to get to church, and also how worth it it is. Haha. B was sick yesterday, so I didn't get to go, and I can always miss the feeling, inspiration, and motivation I get by being there. [Even when it's crazy chasing kids around! Haha!] I have to make that much extra effort to make up for what I would have felt just by going to church.:) You guys are awesome! Seriously, way to go! -Sarah
