POSTED BY: adellie38

SUBJECT: Cheerios and Crayons
LOCATION: Burley, Idaho,
You know, whenever I sit in a Sacrament Meeting, I always look around at those in my ward. There are so many people that I love and cherish. I love them all, but at the same time I can see what I have always wanted. I want the family with the crying babies and the toddlers spilling cheerios and crayons on the seats. I want the husband that has his arm around my back and my hand on his knee, watching the speaker and feeling the Spirit. I want the satisfaction of knowing that I am doing all the Lord is requiring of me as a wife, a help-meet and a mother in Zion. And sometimes I come home from church after a spiritual awakening and I just sob for what I don't have. But, then sometimes I come home and strive harder for those immaterial gifts that someday will have. And then I breathe, and can feel the Lord smiling on me, knowing what lies around the next corner. It's a beautiful feeling, knowing that just around the corner lies my eternity.
