COOKIE CRUMBS: Kid Say...another one

We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

Kid Say...another one

This morning I was telling Lizzy about some silly movie we are going to watch tonight. I had told her about it earlier in the week. When I reminded her that we were going to watch it to night she said, "Maybe that is why I am excited. I just wake up every morning feeling excited about something and I don't know what." No wonder the kid can't sleep in. She is always excited. I need to take a page out of her book. I just thought that was the most awesome attitude to have.
