Epiphany

Sitting in church today, feeling the wonderful spirit in our meetings, a thought occurred to me (more than once. I think Heavenly Father wanted to make sure I got it.)

William loves me. He notices when I show love to him, and shows his appreciation to me in the tenderest ways. He forgives me easily. These are some of his strengths.

Since Jesus Christ counseled us to "become as a little child", and He himself is our exemplar, then He must be like a child. He must be like William. He must love me as William does.

William was sent to me to show me how much I am loved by the Lord, every single day of my life.

I have been doing a lot of stressing about things pertaining to William's education--things that need to be done, that I should be doing, that I'm not doing, that I don't know how to do yet. So, another thought:

Is whatever I can teach William more important than what I need to learn from him?

No.

Takes a lot of the stress off,

and brings a lot more love in.

Have a happy holiday season, everyone!
