Comments on: A Young Human Being http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/07/19/young-human/ Uplifting, edifying, and enriching reading by and for Latter-day Saint Women Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:33:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Michelle http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/07/19/young-human/#comment-1506 Thu, 20 Jul 2006 00:20:03 +0000 http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/07/19/young-human/#comment-1506 Starfoxy, Great post! I am always amazed at how teachable my children are. I call them my little spiritual sponges. They take what we teach them and just accept it. (Makes for a sobering reminder about the weight on our shoulders to teach them truth and teach them well!) I am a child of God. God has a plan for us. The devil is real and wants us to be unhappy. Joseph Smith is a prophet, and so is Gordon B. Hinckley. The Book of Mormon is true. Death is not the end. And so it goes. These are just facts for them, and they accept them -- and respond to the Spirit as He teaches them as well about these things. No questioning (not that they are without questions, but they accept the answers). Just wide-eyed, wonderful faith. Starfoxy,

He was supposed to write about what super hero he wanted to be. I don't have it with me now, but he wrote something like: The super hero I want to be is my dad. He goes to work every day to take care of us. I don't want to be like Superman or Spider man. I want to be like my dad. A pretty touching thing for me. Children also don't seem to care what their parents look like, or any similar thing. Just love. My son once wrote an essay in the second grade.

They really helped me focus see how I need to change my focus in some areas to become more childlike. Great examples, Starfoxy.

I love the way you connected childish behaviours to their positive spiritual counterparts. I'd contribute but my brain is cardboard this morning. What a lovely thought!
