Kyra taught me something today! Actually she teaches me something daily. But today what she taught me really hit me like a ton of bricks. She was the first one up this morning. I was getting ready for church and she had gone downstairs and turned on a DVD. I asked her to come upstairs. I asked her what she was watching and she told me it was "The Rescuers" (It's an annimated movie about some mice who save a little girl named Penny). I preceded to remind Kyra that she needed to choose a "Sunday Movie" (We have some movies that are designated for Sunday because they are gospel centered). I also reminded her that we choose movies on Sunday that help remind us about the Savior and what he did for us. Kyra looked up at me and said "Mom, this movie is about "rescuing" a little girl, and Mom Jesus is our "Rescuer".
I stand corrected! Kyra is right you know, the Savior is our "Rescuer" and without Him we cannot be saved!
I'm so grateful that the Lord in His wisdom sent children down to earth to help us become humble and to teach us in ways that others cannot.
And then we were reading scriptures tonight in 3rd Nephi about how babies and young children's mouths were open and they talked of marvelous things that could not be written. Brenden was the one reading and he stopped and said "I've been thinking about that and I think that the reason why babies can't talk when they are born is because they still remember where they were before they were born and maybe Heavenly Father doesn't want them to tell all about the pre-earth life". I told Brenden that I believe that we lose our memories a little at a time. I was also thinking, but didn't say this to Brenden, that even small children remember things from the other side of the veil and that sometimes they know more than we do about the plan of Happiness and about the Savior and His unconditional love for all of His children!
