The following is a conversation I just had with Olivia:
Olivia: Mom, when Sara is sleeping, Heavenly Father is watching over her, just like He watches over us!
Mom: Yes, that's right, Olivia.
Oivia: Mom, Heavenly Father watches over all his children because He loves all his children.
Mom: You are right, I am proud of you that you know that. How did you learn that? Or did you just figure it out?
Olivia: You told me it, and then I knowed it. Then I feeled it in here (placing hand on chest) and I knowed it and I could talk about it.
Mom: Wow Olivia, do you know what that is? That is the Spirit telling you that it is true. That is the Holy Ghost saying "Yes, Olivia, Heavenly Father does watch over his children, that is true." Then you feel good inside and you know it is true.
Olivia: Yeah, the Holy Ghost says to me that it's true.
We don't have moments like this every day, but when we do they sure are sweet! It just goes to show how amazing little kids' spirits are and how open their hearts are to the truth.

PS: Congrats on couponing! Hopefully you can inspire me. I'm still stuck in the whirlpool of too many options and failed attempts to make it work for me. But, now that I'm aware of the money-saving madness, there's really no turning back. I just hope I can get in some sort of groove sooner than later...
LOVE YA!!!!!!
