Children...our sweetest joys!!

So, I watched this video on YouTube yesterday morning. It really had me thinking. I suppose it may have been the fact that they were home all day. It was nice having them here. I have to say that I felt an overwhelming feeling of responsibility to them. I had some serious time of reflection as to my duty to them as their mother. Am I doing all I can?? I guess as we see the world changing around us and the difficulties that are surely going to come for them, I wonder am I preparing this rising generation to meet these great challenges? Am I teaching my children to face seemingly insurmountable adversity and to be courageous during these storms? Am I teaching them how to be happy in a life that may very well be full of tribulations? That through all of this, there is a loving Heavenly Father aware of them and a Father that will strengthen them and uphold them during these times. That this life is a test, but that the rewards will be greater than human mind can comprehend. I am glad they are still little as I felt a great urgency, not out of fear, but rather out of love, that I must do even better. I guess that life size mural drawn on the wall by the one and only Brooke during her supposed nap time isn't such a big deal after all.....
