Another good Sunday

Church today was pretty good. We didn't have to fight too much with our kids,which is always nice. No one got brought to me for bad behavior. No,they were brought to me because of made-up illnesses. OH yeah, one had a "soreness in her swallow". A sore throat? She can't help it. She was trying to be creative so that I wouldn't get mad. I let her stay with me, but told her she had to be quiet and nice,and she was. The other gave a talk today in Sr. Primary and about five minutes after her sister came in to be with me, she came in complaining of a bellyache. I think it was just nerves. Either way, I had my two bigger girls in Relief Society with me. And they were actually quiet!

The lesson was on Sister Beck's talk about being strong and immovable. It was a great lesson and I loved all the thoughts that the teacher gave. Then the teacher reiterated a challenge given to us from our Stake President for each family in our Stake to write a Family Creed. I remember that he challenged us to do this when he spoke at Stake Conference and of course, we had forgotten. My eldest daughter leaned over to me and said, "Mom, we don't have one of those. Are we gonna do it?" I guess I have really be challenged now! So, for Family Home Evening tomorrow, we will probably be sitting down as a family and writing a creed of what our family believes and feels is important.

What about you? What did you learn at church today?
