Lately Rhev has been fascinated with the temple. He talks about the angel Moroni and the temple all the time. Today I had a humbling Mom moment when I walked into the livingroom. I had just finished cleaning it and went to work on another room. When I came back to the living room I found a pile of books, VHS, DVD and all sorts of things. He even had the cushions off the couch. I immediately got frustrated at him and ask him why in the world is he making a mess in the room I had already cleaned. With tears streaming from his eyes he calmly said, "Mom I built you a temple. I thought you would like it. I tried to make it pretty". How is it that this 4 year old of mine is constantly stopping me in my tracks and reminding me to look at the big picture and not react first. I am so grateful for his example and his little reminders he leaves around our house. Needless to say, we left the temple set up for a few days because of the special spirit it brought into our home. I was truly grateful for this little piece of Heaven.
