monday monday (dah daaah dah dah dah dah)... lol.

great weekend, watched General Conference. so so so great. loved the talks, especially Robert D. Hales' talk. really felt like it was spoken straight to me. i can't wait for the Ensign to come out so i can read the talks and go over them again!

saturday was a rainy day, poured from about noon til 6ish. it looked so cool out though. mercy was standing on her chair, looking out the window, and i had to snap some pics of it. this one came out and i knew what i wanted to do with it:



the words are the lyrics to A Child's Prayer, by Janice Kapp Perry, one of my favorite Primary songs. The MoTab sings it on their "Love Is Spoken Here" CD, and it makes me tear up everytime i hear it. *sniffle* the words to the whole song are:

Night time, quiet time,
Loved one gather at day's end.
I hold them close, I help them know
That God will always be their friend.
Then just before I say goodnight
My little ones kneel by my chair
I close my eyes, I dim the lights
And listen to this simple prayer:

Heavenly Father, are you really there?
And do you hear and answer ev'ry child's prayer?
Some say that heaven is far away,
But I feel it close around me as I pray.

Heavenly Father, I remember now
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago,
"Suffer the children to come to me."
Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee.

Pray, He is there. Speak, He is list'ning.
You are His child, His love now surrounds you.
He hears your prayer, He loves the children.
Of such is the kingdom, the Kingdom of heav'n.

Heavenly Father, are you really there?
He hears and answers every child's prayer.
Please hear my prayer.

geez, even typing the words out makes me tear up. lol.

okay that's all from me for now. enough!
