At the end of the day
Today was not a good day with my little Macie. She has been sick the past couple of days and is finally getting better so she had all this pent up energy and with it being freezing cold outside we didn't get out a lot. She was going non stop all day and was not listening at all. I felt like all I did today was yell at her, discipline her and fight with her. I hate days like this I fell like the worst mom ever. However 2 mins at the end of the day made it all worth it. We got into bed after reading books and I wasn't gonna force prayer as we already had prayed at FHE. When I asked her to lie down she said what about prayer. (Macie fights us every night with prayer and never sits still so this floored me.) I asked her if she wanted to say it. She jumped out of bed onto her knees and said the sweetest prayer ever. "Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, grandma and papo and this day, amen." I almost cried it was so precious and helps me to remember why we pray and read our scriptures every night as a family even if it is a gong show.
