Life=Learning.

Can I just say how grateful I am to be alive.
I love life. I love living. Sometimes it can be difficult, but I still like it. I really like breathing air. I really like talking with my boys. I really like dealing with my issues when they are being dealt with (not when I am not dealing with them though). I really like helping others deal with their issues and feel their emotions. I really like reading peoples' blogs. I really love babies. I love pregnancy and I love it when babies are born. I'm not pregnant, but I know people who are and I love it. It is a beautiful thing! I love to see the blue sky. I love to spend time reminiscing. I love my family!

(This is David at 3 years old. He's now 6.)
I love this kid!
Recently, since the events in Haiti, he has been very concerned about the people there. He has been very concerned about earthquakes. He lost his third tooth the other day and he said he wants to give half of his money to the Haiti relief fund through the LDS church. (He really is a sweetheart.)
The other day he told me he was not feeling well. When I asked why, he asked something about what happens when we die? He has been so concerned with life. I suggested that he pray about it and ask Heavenly Father to help him feel better. That night he prayed about it and the next day he said he felt much better. The day after that however, he said he was not feeling well again. When I asked why he said "you know." I felt so sad for him. I remember when I was young, I worried often about where we came from, where we're going, how we were made. It is a scary thought for a little kid.
So we sat down on the couch and we were talking. There is a picture of Christ on my wall with some kids around it.

This one to be exact.
He looked at it and then back at me and with tears in his eyes he said "when I look at that picture I feel better." What a great teaching moment that was for us. I am so thankful for my son, well God's son that I get to raise.
I am so thankful for the holy ghost.
I am grateful for moments like this when I can feel the spirit and teach my son about the spirit. We talked about his feelings. I am glad that he feels comfortable enough with me that we can talk about these things. We have had quite a few moments to teach lately, and I like that.
Back to blogging I go.
