Jenalyn came in to wake me up yesterday morning and spotted my Book of Mormon by my bed, she grabbed it and announced that we needed to have Family Home Evening.
So she climbed up on the bed with me and with the dim light from the lamp and a tiny bit of sunlight thru the windows, just me and my sweet little girl had "FHE". Before opening the book to "teach" me she said we needed to have song and prayer. So we sang "Families Can Be Together Forever" (so softly so we wouldn't wake up daddy) and then she said a sweet little prayer. Then she opened the book and started to "read" it to me. She mumbled a lot but I caught a couple phrases, "Be careful with other people's feelings," "Heavenly Father gave us our spirits," and "Jesus loves us." *awe* SO sweet! Then she closed the book and took my arm, feeling the bones in my wrist and told me that there is a spirit in there *giggle*
It made me feel so good to know that she actually listens once in a while when we have FHE. We had a lesson no too long ago about how Heavenly Father gave us our bodies. We talked about how our spirits live inside our bodies - everyone has one. It was a little difficult to explain the difference between your body and your spirit to a 4 year old - but at least now I know she was listening :)
