I Am A Child Of God

I am a child of God and so are you. We lived with him before we came to this earth. We were there and made the choice to follow Heavenly Fathers plan. We couldn't wait to come and can't wait to get back. What a wonderful day it will be to return to our Father in Heaven again. If you really think about it we are not really gone from him. He is always with us and will never leave us alone. This is something I have come to really know this past month. Heavenly Father lets us have our free agency but, when we really need him he is always right there. He is always there, maybe we just haven't paid much attention till times get ruff. So each day I try to see the little things that lets me know he is there. It may just be taking time to look at the beautiful flowers and plants, or looking up to the heavens. These are all sign of his love.
We are all children of God and he can't wait to be with us again. For this truth I am thankful.

Alishia said...: Aren't the primary songs great? When we're little, we don't appreciate how comforting they can be when we are older. Thanks for sharing your amazing testimony with all of us. We are listening and are reminded of how lucky we are to have the gospel.; September 4, 2008 at 2:19 PM
Kelli said...: Thank you for this. I am sure you know but this year's theme in Primary is "I Am A Child of God!" I am the primary chorister and I am in tears almost every Sunday listening to the kiddos sing the program songs. The 1st presidency was so inspired this year especially with this theme. It is such a simple reminder that has a huge impact! Thank you THANK YOU for posting this!

It was July 25th 2008 and it was a great day. All the kids were getting along with eachother. Ethan and I were going on vacation with a few friends and we were to leave at 5:00p.m. that evening. At about 11:00 a.m. I started packing for the trip. I caught Kamber out back playing with the hose with her cousin a couple of times. The last time Ethan and I went out back to get after the girls for playing in the hose. Ethan sprayed the girls and we chased them all back inside. Ethan went into his office and I went back into our room to pack. It was a short time after this that Kamber some how made it into the pool area. We can't figure out how it happened, we have a gate around our pool shut and locked. Nobody had been in the pool area in days. We lost site of Kamber for a few minutes but this was enough time for her to fall in the spa part of our pool and drowned. I had gone into Ethans office and said something to him and turned around to find my niece crying. I knew. I ran straight to the pool and didn't see her and then caught a glimps of her leg in the spa. It took forever to get the pool fence open , but I ran as fast as I could and pulled her out. Ethan ran in and started CPR, I called 911. The Fire Depatment came fast. They worked on her and then headed to the hospital. We already knew she was gone. I could feel her comforting arms around me. We raced to the hospital where we watched them work on her for about 10 more minutes. She was gone. They let me hold her for about 2 hrs till the medical examiner came to get her. I felt a small amount of peace and I thank my Heavenly Father for that. It was her time to return home. We are grateful for the 2 1/2 years Heavenly Father let us enjoy the beautiful person she is. We will be with her again as a family and I can't wait to raise her again. Her sisters miss her dearly, but they know she not far away and she is safe. We love our valiant angel!
