Cooking

1. I am grateful for my kitchen. I love Sundays that I get to spend time in there making a wonderful meal. I don't always get to do that, because of tutoring right before or little boys wanting to 'help' me cook. I like to let them help--but it limits what I can do. On Sundays, The Bug Hero lets me spend as much time in the kitchen as I want, usually hours making and baking and it's great!

2. I am grateful that the Bug Hero does the dishes. I like to do dishes, but if I've spent several hours cooking I usually don't feel like doing dishes for an hour. And he cheerfully does them.

3. I am grateful for our Sunday Tradition. We got to share it with another family, and it made it new again. Most of the kids mentioned the baptism on yesterday as when they were happy and felt the spirit. It's a great way to talk about the gospel and the spirit again.

4. I am grateful for the new curriculum for the Youth. I'm excited to really get into it. I'm nervous about it, especially after this week--Sunday School was just about as crazy as it could possibly be. I don't know where it went wrong, but I trust that next week it won't go bad again. We have good days and bad days. I look forward to being an even more powerful teacher to lead them to conversion.

5. I am grateful for the spirit. I am grateful that I get to feel it daily and that I take opportunities to share the gospel with my boys, and help them feel the Savior's love.
