The Sabbath

 We are still adjusting to this whole two hour church thing. Finley has decided he strongly dislikes church and is super uncooperative the entire time. Ollie is super busy and the baby always needs nursing as soon as he wakes it seems. I spend a lot of Sacrament meeting tripping over feet as I make my way out with one child after another. Sometimes Mr. Stannix and I meet each other as we pace the halls, one with an impossible preschooler and I with the baby, and we roll our eyes. 

 We enjoyed the little bit we did get out of testimony meeting today though. Hyrum asked if he could go up in front of the whole congregation and share his testimony. It was short and sweet and right to the point and my heart was touched by his words. He knows his Savior loves him, and he knows that families are forever. 

I brought out the kindness jar tonight for family home evening and we talked about what it means to be kind and ways that we can serve each other in our home. The littles will be filling the jar with chocolate hearts this month (one heart per act of kindness).

The jar is such a simple thing, but it really helps fill our home with extra love and reminds the children to be a little bit more kind.
