We had story time this morning. So we walked to the library and actually arrived on time, hooray! During our walk, Urijah practiced he's talk for primary on Sunday. Our church has a children's gospel class called primary and the little Mr will be giving a 3mins talk on preaching the gospel to all the world. He almost has it memorized and I'm excited to see his delivery infront of the whole class. I've also had to check myself and not place pressure on him to perform but instead to just speak according to his own abilities. I'll admit that I did have a moment of panic and wanted to drill this talk into him so that he's delivery would be perfect. Then I realised that this was his moment, not mine. And therefore the preparation also has to be enjoyable for him...life is about the journey right...
After the library we sparked a conversation with a neighbor a few streets from us. Turns out she's from Croatia and naturally she and I bonded on our immigration tales. She's also a plant based eater and invited us to enjoy her splendid garden. As a result we came home with some goodies for dinner. She also has chickens so Urijah was allowed to pick some eggs (he's a big fan of hard boiled eggs but only eats the egg whites, it's the same story with Zuri so maybe they dislike the texture of egg yolk).
The night ended with a baptism at church. The missionaries then came by for dinner and we all enjoyed good conversation which has me thinking about my patriarchal blessing. The thoughts are geared towards how I truly have no idea, in fact, how I can't even comprehend the things that my Heavenly Father has in store for me. So we know our lives in this moment and the experiences of the past, but the future...we have absolutely no idea. Our general understanding of life is just so limited. It really is. No matter how enlightened an individual may seem, at the end of the day you are still human and Heavenly Father is in charge.
That knowledge has removed in me a need to control my life. Instead every single day is about being open to learn and experience.
Ah man, how good it is to be alive.
