Sweet Little Moments Like This...

Today we went to another ward to listen to one of Broc's friends. We were a little late to the meeting (does that shock you?) and the chapel was filled (of course). We noticed that it had a balcony with extra seating, so we climbed up there and that was pretty much full as well. We had to climb over a few people to get to an empty seat and then I thought, man this is going to be a pain if Crew needs to be taken out (which is not unusual for Sacrament meeting). About two minutes after we had just sat down, Crew decides he wants to run (remember there is no room), so Broc tries to grab him but before he can get him Crew bumps his head on another pew and instantly begins the LOUD cry. Broc tried to quiet him down as he was taking him out, unfortunately with no luck. After a few speakers, Broc brought Crew back in, (climbing and squeezing their way in). Crew looked like he was about to make a run for it again and then the Primary Children started singing Primary Christmas songs. Crew instantly was still and listened so intently. It was almost as if he could feel the message they were singing about. The spirit was so strong as those children sang of the birth of Jesus. Such a simple tune with an over empowering message. As I looked at Crew, tears ran down my cheeks, thinking of the most important things at Christmas time... our Savior! I am so grateful to have these sweet little moments to remind me of the most important things that only a child can teach. I feel so blessed to be a mother and have such a special little boy who brings a piece of Heaven into my life!
