Testimony of a Child

Tonight for Family Home Evening Bryan thought it would be a good time to teach our kids how to bear their testimonies.  We talked about what a Testimony is and then we both shared our testimonies.  We then let the kids take a turn to share theirs with us.  Ashlee gave it a great shot, but didn’t quite grasp the concept.  Dane however, did a great job.  He also added that he knows the world is not flat.  I was so touched by the rest of his testimony that this little fact that he added in there was just the icing on top.  I am so thankful that Bryan and I are teaching our kids the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I hope that we can be the kind of parents that our children need to grow up in this day in time. 
I am thankful for my Testimony of Jesus Christ.  I am thankful that my family can be together forever through the blessings of the Temple.  I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me, as my big brother and as my Redeemer.  I am so thankful for that sacrifice and what it means for me individually.  I know that by paying an honest Tithe, we can receive blessings beyond anything we can imagine.  I know that Satan is real and that his purpose and plan is to distract us from doing those things, especially the small and simple things that will help us to have the Holy Ghost as a constant companion and guide.  I know that if we allow Satan to be present in our lives that he WILL BE.  But if we command him to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, he will leave.  No matter how many times we have to do it.  We can rid him from our lives and be happy and healthy, mentally and emotionally. 
My heart is full of gratitude for a husband who works so hard for our family.  Who loves his kids more than anything and would do anything for them.  I so appreciate his goodness in helping around the house and being the help mate that I so need in this life.  I love him and have loved him and will love him for eternity.
