Making it part of life
We have been having an interesting battle the last few weeks. Horn Man, thinks that he should be able to do just as much as Tenor Man and Moose, if not more. Even though he is several years younger. He has also been giving the Queen a hard time in Primary. He does not want to be in the program. I have found it very difficult to reason with him.
With the other challenges the Queen is facing, I figure this is at least something I can help her with. I just have not been able to figure out how. So yesterday, I went to the temple. When I got on the car, I noticed a CD in the back seat labeled Program 2009. I popped into the CD player and listened to the songs. They are great songs. As I listened closely, they talk about following Christ, building His kingdom, and being willing to do as He commands. I thought about it all through the temple.
In the session, I started getting a little irritated. I always do and probably shouldn't. The brothers in the session rarely sit next to each other. It is like we all have rabies or something. Anyway, the officiator was asking us to seat in specific spots and there were brothers who refused. I had to shake my head. We were at a point of being reminded in the session about obedience and these brothers would not. How can we expect our children to do it if we aren't? I just baffles me.
I hope you understand the importance of obeying and the importance of your willingness to serve. That willingness also means attitude. It is work. It is not always easy. I know that the the Lord would not ask us to doing anything that we would not be able to accomplish or learn from. The scripture thoughts have been about that as of late. Take a moment to go back and read those first few chapters of the Book of Mormon see the example and lesson that has been given us there.
