Sweet Little Kurtis


i had gotten the boys ready for bed. teeth brushed and jammies on. jared was fussing in his bed and was ready for a bottle. but i needed to get the big boys in bed first. they had already said their prayers, all we had left was reading scriptures. well, as i started reading, blake and kurtis, as usual started talking and goofing off. so tonight, in my efforts to get kurtis to be reverent, i asked him, "how would you be sitting if Heavenly Father came in your room right now?" on his bed, he knelt down and had a huge grin on his face with open arms. it took a second for me to process, but i asked, "ready for a hug from Heavenly Father?" and of course, he told me yes. well, i couldn't really say too much after that, except that it was sweet and how wonderful that would be. but it touched my heart to see how close our little ones are to our Heavenly Father, and how they must think of Him.

Why is it that as we get older, we forget that we also can still get hugs from Heavenly Father? Touching story..loved reading it. :D We miss you guys!

What a sweet little boy. Mothers need moments like that so our children don't drive us completely crazy, right?
