Today is March 23rd. The world shut down last March 13th. It has been QUITE the year. There are many times and many issues that have been hard to deal with and get used to. Such as wearing masks (girls at school too), not being able to easily go to museums and indoor play areas, etc., and in the beginning not being able to see family and friends. But there have been many blessings and eye-opening things that have happened that I am very grateful for.
Being able to do at home church and make our home a sacred place has been the most important thing Cade and I have learned from this pandemic. The temples have been shut down and it's been very hard to not be able to go inside and focus on the spiritual nourishment that we have needed. But then we have made our homes that spiritual haven that we and our girls have needed. Come Follow Me has been a regular important thing in our home and it has strengthened our family relationships 100 fold. I am so grateful for the revelation of the Come Follow Me program that has allowed families to become spiritually stronger together.
I have also learned that I need to be understanding of others beliefs and opinions and know that my way of thinking is not the only correct way. I want to teach my children to be strong in their beliefs but understanding of others thinking and believing different than them. The Holy Ghost is so essential in our day that I need to keep Chirst's teachings at the front of my to-do list every day. I need to be guided and directed every single day to what is most important for myself and my family.
I am grateful that we are coming around a corner and hopefully will be able to resume certain activities soon (church, primary, etc.). We are currently meeting every other week at church and doing the other week at home virtually. It has still been good but I am excited to get back to hugging people and smiling at others without a mask on.
