I Like Them...


I have a new found appreciation for my kids today. I have been following a case of 2 missing boys whose father didn't return them home from the area where we used to live. I kept hoping that they would be found in a neighboring state or the father would drop them somewhere and they would be found. Unfortunately sometimes things don't end well and this is one of those cases. I don't understand the mentality of someone who can hurt a child. To mean it is a sign of someone who is severely broken. This weekend I was able to spend time with my kids and I have decided that I really like them. I know that in the last 17 years or so there have been several days where I was at the end of my patience and felt overwhelmed. But, I would never thought in my worst nightmares of harming them. I just don't understand it. I hope you keep yours nearer to you this week. Have a good week. :)

The savior once said something about it being better to have a millstone set around your neck and tossed into the sea than harm a child. The incredible place people must be in order to do what some people do to their children is far beyond my ability to comprehend. I hope that I never do.
