Every night in our house, after family prayer, our children get a bedtime story. Jacob and I switch nights reading to little Jake. Every third night, Grammy reads them a bedtime story from a DVD she created for her grandchildren as a Christmas present. Every once in a while, Cherish and Heidi will join Jacob and I while we read. Tonight I head something that made my heart melt. I had just finished reading little Jake his bedtime story and was walking out of his room when I head Heidi talking to Cherish. I almost walked by without paying any further attention since the girls talk to each other every night, but for some reason, I stopped to listen. I realized that Heidi wasn't talking to Cherish, she was reading her a story. I listened until she had finished reading Cherish her story, then told her that I was very proud of her. Her smile lit up the room. Litttle acts of service show me that my children are taking to heart the lessons of Christ and are trying to live like him. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for such sweet and loving children. Thank you for their sweet spirits and for touching my heart today.
