FINALLY...

I DID IT! I will be walking among the other graduates on April 27 at the new Utah Valley University next month. I am so excited to graduate with my AS in Social Work and in Behavioral Science. It is such a good feeling.

as a little child

Lately I have really understood the meaning of becoming as a little child. When Jesus commanded us to become as little children, I think I know what he means. Children are so loving and forgiving and accepting and friendly, and I could go on and on about the positive role models children can be. My daughter is so loving and happy and energetic and wants to feel loved and safe and feel peace. Sometimes when my husband and I get into an arguement and our vocies get louder, she says, No No No, shshsh. Be still, I feel she is trying to tell us. I know we are not perfect parents and we might have a tiff here and there, but she knows that it is not necesarry to argue or raise our voice or be hard/rude or mean to another person. We need to try and become like our children. Children are perfect to a certain age and understanding. I love it when my daughter tries to help me and tries to tell me she loves me and hugs me and gives me kisses at anytime. Why can't we as adults be more willing to forgive quicker and to be more kind and loving and willing to talk to complete strangers by saying hello or smiling more. Children are the reason for this strong message, love one another as I have loved you.
