Blessings

Maddie said something so sweet the other day that i just had to share. Last week when she was feeling really yucky from her surgery there were lots of things to try to help her feel better. Nate bought her a fish that was ready at the house when she came home from the hospital, and balloons, and stickers, and coloring books. Whatever we could think of to keep her mind off her pain. Well one day she was really bad and I asked her if she wanted her dad to give her a blessing. She said yes and we gave her one and we also said many prayers with her in those next few days. It was a great learning experience for her about prayer. Then one day as she walked into the kitchen, she looked up at the fish sitting on the kitchen counter and said "Fishies don't help you feel better, only blessings." How sweet! How cool it is to be the mother and have the opportunity to teach my daughter how important blessings are, and how grateful i am to have a husband who holds the Priesthood and can bless our family with it.
