Oh my Sammie. I love her so. She drives me CRAZY most every morning, whines like NON OTHER, and throws temper tantrums as a 6 yr old, BUT. Her heart is gold. She got in trouble today for doing something she had been told ALOT of times not to do. After i let her sit on her floor alone for a while, i came in to talk to her. She looked up at me with shame-filled eyes and said, " Mom, I am so sorry I disobeyed you." Melted what tiny bit of anger I had left.:) Then at dinner, she asked to pray, and after thanking God for the food, she said, " and help us not to have to get spankens any more! AMEN!"
She makes me smile.
To top of her night, we were talking about heaven and what it may be like and how there will be no more pain and sin and tears..I asked her, "don't you just want to go RIGHT now??!!" To which she replied, "YES! Kill me MOM! Then I can be in heaven with Jesus and Kandice!" ( our friend who passed away from cancer this summer)
She also finished that conversation with, " I pray every night that God would forgive the wrong things I did". Oh, my sweet girl. I could take some lessons from her.:)
I love you Samantha Joy.

We SHOULD be excited to go to heaven!! I love you girly. Keep on encouraging and teaching your children in the way they should go. You are right on!!! <3
Nell is right.. Keep talking about all the things that little girls and boys....need to hear from their moms and dads... about Jesus and Heaven and purity and all the REALLY REALLY important parenting things.. and you do realize that as we teach our kids to obey us.. it helps them to be able to obey their heavenly Father.
She is a sweetheart..... but then.... they all are. :) Love your kids. and you.
