A Moment...

Last Sunday we were driving to the airport to pick up Ben after he'd been gone basically all week. It had been a long week and I was physically and emotionally drained, but also just excited to see Ben and have him home again. So emotional as usual...what else is new with this pregnancy? As we were driving, I put in the Primary CD of songs the children are learning this year. Kaleb LOVES primary and he often comes home singing some of the lyrics of the songs he's learning. When I put in the CD, he thought it was his primary singing...so cute! The first song is his favorite called "My Eternal Family." We listened to it together until it was over, and then he asked me to play it again. This time we sang the words we knew and it was just one of those moments. You know those rare but tender moments when you are filled with the love of the Savior and you know your child feels it, too. Of course tears of overwhelming gratitude and joy filled my eyes, and I told Kaleb how much I loved him and that this was my favorite part of the day. Here are the words of this precious song and a link if you want to listen to it:

My Eternal Family
by Annette Dickman

I am a builder working each day to build my family. And I will do the best I can to serve them lovingly. I am a builder growing so tall and learning every day, to speak with kindness in my home, to help at work and play.

My Heavenly Father sent me here and He knows I can be, strong and righteous as I build my eternal family.

I am a builder building a home; I seek the Lord in prayer. And as I try to live God's word I feel the Spirit there. I am a builder serving the Lord And following His plan, to help my family come back home, and live with Him again.

My Heavenly Father sent me here and He knows I can be, strong and righteous as I build my eternal family.
