I'm Sorry

Today I was short with you.
I'm sorry.

Today I had in my head us trying to do better as a family.  In particular scripture study.  But I think what I view the end goal being is different than your vision.  And when my picture didn't come into focus I took it out on you.

I'm sorry I made faces and avoided eye contact and probably made you feel bad.  I'm sorry I was rude and sharp.  I'm sorry I didn't treat you with the love I have for you.

I promise-that is not a part of my vision.

I also want you to know that I really did like your FHE lesson-about Gideon and picking a scripture and image to go with each kid.  It's really quite beautiful and inspiring.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you that when I thought it.

I promise that I'll do better tomorrow.
Thanks for all the tomorrows.

Blessing the Family

Last night you came home from the priesthood session of general conference.  You were clean shaven, had on a white shirt and tie.  I was so proud of you.  In the previous week you helped give myself and some of our kids priesthood blessings.
I want you to know that I am hugely grateful that you are worthy to hold the priesthood and that I can call on you at any time to give a blessing.  That means a lot.  I means security for me.  I know that I have access to the priesthood whenever I need it.  It means pride.  My husband is worthy in the eyes of God.
I am proud of you.  I am proud to be your wife.  I am grateful that God has blessed me with someone who worthily holds the priesthood.
I love you, John.
