I love to see the Temple...

When life is crazy, when you feel like there is just not much about your life that is going right, there is a place here on earth that lets you know you are not alone. It's been a few months since I have been able to go to the temple. Really it's my fault for not making time to attend. After yesterday afternoon I know I can not let life take over. I love the temple, I know my father lives, that he sent his son here to earth for me and my family, my Savor lives so that we can be together forever. The temple is the Lords house here on earth that makes it all possible. I'm thankful to know this truth, and to know I'm not alone. Ben cried all day because he could not go to the temple with me, he said "I want to go see heavenly father too, it's not fair I can't go, I love him too!" If we all could just have that wanting in our life like a little child, what love and peace would be on the earth, and how easy would it be to keep our lives always worthy to attend the temple...

Mom, I think I was wrong...

So tonight Ben watched me make dinner. Being the good helper that he is, he asked if we could have broccoli for dinner. Sure I said, "you know that they are the little trees?" Ben replying, "yes I like them now you and dad teaches me how to eat healthy food now remember?" So after dinner Ben is still sitting at the table with the 2 little pieces of broccoli on his plate. I decide we will just go ahead and have family home evening at the table. When it was his turn for family business he said, "I think that tomorrow for dinner we have to have corn and no more broccoli, mom lied it's not good for you anymore, right Jake?" I tell ya I love this kid he has something to say matter of fact ALL day long...
