"..............except ye become like a child......."

".................except ye become like a child.........."
I woke up at 5:35 this morning when Nate hit my leg while talking in his sleep. I couldn't fall back asleep so I went in the front room to enjoy the peace & quiet of the beautiful fall Sunday morning. McKay had a talk today & Eliza & Taylor were singing "A Child's Prayer" in Sacrament Mtg. & today was my first Sunday being in Primary. I was excited and nervous. As I read & enjoyed the quiet of the morning I thought about what it would be like to be with the children. The boys got up & McKay & I worked on his talk. He is our child that is very quiet outside of our home but he ponders gospel topics deeply. He has been doing missionary work with a little boy on our street & loves to tell me each day how it's going. So we talked about D&C 18:10, 14-16 & D&C 4. As I watched him understand that the joy he was feeling inside by sharing the gospel was the blessing of obedience, was awesome. The killer was though "Mom what are you doing?" McKay wanted to know who I am working on. We then talked about "........except you become like a child........" & in that moment I realized what serving in Primary was going to be like. It is exactly what I need in my life right now. I need to be as close as I can to spirits so prescious & examples of who the Lord would have us be like in the way of inocence and kindness and love. As I sat in there with the beautiful children in our ward today I got goose bumps. I felt the spirit with every song. It took me back to my childhood & I fought back the tears. I am so excited to be taught by them every Sunday. To grow through them. I cannot wait to learn about the Savior through the eyes of a child with different needs. It was a joyful moment to sit there & watch my own children participate in the blessings I was given as a child. How truly blessed we are.
