We had a pretty crazy Sunday! I hardly had time to sit and listen to anything because I was constantly hauling children out of the meeting! After church Hyrum and Joe helped set up chairs for the potluck. It made my mamma heart proud to watch them helping and serving. Hyrum has really grown and matured over the last little bit and I love watching his quiet ways and his desire to be good. Hyrum sat next to his cub leader and Joe sat next to his piano teacher and the two of them chatted their poor ears off the entire time. On the way home from church I was thanking the boys for helping out with the chairs and Hyrum said, "I want to be good for the rest of my life, it makes me feel so happy." I love that he recognized the good feeling he got after serving and knew that he wanted to feel that way always. It was such a simple, but profound statement. Even though I changed two poopy diapers during the potluck and sometimes feel like I can't juggle one more thing on Sundays, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's so nice seeing the older kids willing to help and serve in and outside of our home. Soon I will have big strong boys to carry my groceries, lift heavy things and hold doors open for me. And while I look forward to those days, there's a small part of me that doesn't want these days to end anytime soon.
