So our church is at 1:00 now which is such a horrible time for Trey. He is so wild by the time we are at church all he wants to do is fun around. He is pretty good when the bread and water gets passed around and he says "Jesus's body" when the bread gets to us and "Jesus's blood" when the water gets around. He now even says "Just One" as if to remind himself not to take a handful. So Junior chases Trey around while I hold my pleasant little Aden, as he sits there and sleeps (Ahh the joys of having two kids). I find it so funny all the people that you meet in the mothers room. I swear the only people's names that I know I met there. I am so thankful to be able to go to church every Sunday! I love watching Trey grow and learn about Jesus. He loves nursery, his leaders are so awesome. Right when he goes in he gives the women nursery leader a hug and forgets all about his mommy.
We are learning about the New Testament in Sundayschool and I find it so interesting. I know I thought I knew everything there was to know about the New Testament, I was so wrong. I have made it my goal to have the New Testament read by September. Im on chapter 5 and I am so amazed at how you learn something new everytime you read the scriptures. Today we talked about how King Hearod had all the children 2 and under killed because he was angry that the Wise Men betrayed him and wanted to make sure that Jesus would not take over his throne. How terrible would that be to have your children killed because of some crazy man. Now that I have children of my own I am ever more amazed at the faith that Mary must have had. I wonder how spiritual she must have been in order to mother the Savior...what an honor! I love my Savior and I am so grateful for the devine role of motherhood. I know lately I have been getting very frustrated and a little down. I don't know if it is the snow, being cooped up inside or just the overbearing responsibilities of being a mother, so it is so good to go to church on Sunday and be able to remember that my Savior loves me. I am so grateful for my children and I thank the Lord everyday I get woke up by their joyful sounds! I truly know that my Savior lives for all I am blessed with.
I love everything you just said! Thanks so much for sharing! I think its so cool you have a goal to read the New Testament. We finally switched to 9:00 church and it is soooo much better! Daci isn't as wired and tired. She is much more enjoyable. Hopefully Trey gets used to it! It helps that they get to go run around in nursery for two hours :)
