Changes

I love the changes that have taken place in Adam since he has been baptized, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost.

I just had to share a few, so I don't forget.

Josh is a toddler who loves to get into Adam's stuff. Adam had organized all of his Pokemon cards, only to find that Josh has somehow gotten into his secret stash, and completely messed them up.

Last night, I overheard Adam yelling at him:

"I really, really want to hit you for messing with my Pokemon cards. But I'm baptized now! So, I won't!"

I, mean, at first I was mad. Because, you don't hit babies.

However, he recognized that he was doing something wrong, and stopped.

That made my heart melt a little.

In our house, our kids aren't allowed any "media" (computer, video games, or tv) until morning chores are done and they have earned some "time" to do it. Anyways, Adam woke up really early this morning (while I was still sleeping), and thought he would sneak in some MarioKart time.

Later, he told me:

"Mom, this morning I closed your door so you wouldn't wake up, and I was going to sneak out and play MarioKart. But then, the Holy Ghost told me not to. So, I didn't. Then I felt really warm inside."

And that made my heart melt a little more.
