What I Know...

Last weekend my sweet little Lexi was baptized!  It was such a beautiful ceremony and the spirit was so strong!  After the confirmation, Lexi turned around to hug her Daddy and Pappy and when she turned around tears were running down her cheeks.  I think we had all held it together pretty well until that point.  What a sweet thing to see the spirit touch an 8 year old that way!  I am so happy for Lexi and the decision she made.  I am so blessed to have her in my life and for the happiness she brings to our home.

I am so grateful for families and for our Heavenly Father's plan for us to be together forever.  I am so happy to be sealed to my family for eternity!

I hope that Lexi is able to see the potential that is within her.  I hope she knows how much I love her.  I look at her so often and it reminds me of when I was her age.  The feelings she has and simply the way that she acts...it truly is a flashback!  :)

I hope she can recognize the good example that Ryan sets for her.  To always work hard for what she wants in life and never settle for less than that.  To want to serve others above anything.  She definitely has his love for all of life!  They are both able to see the beauty in all of Heavenly Father's creations.

Lexi loves her family so much!  She is such a great big cousin and sister!  Because of this, I know what a wonderful mommy she will make one day.  She has such a kind heart and selfless attitude.

I hope that Lexi knows how much her grandparents love her!  They are wonderful examples for her.  I hope that she has a desire to learn more about all of her family.  Those who are here and those who have passed.  I belive that learning her heritage will help define who she is.

I hope that Lexi knows how much her Heavenly Father loves her.  I hope that when she prays she can feel close to Him and be assured that she can turn to Him when she is in need.

I hope that she continues to be a shining example of our Savior Jesus Christ.  I hope that she will always make good decisions and try to live as He did.

She has already taken such an important step.  She has made that decision to follow Christ and to be an example.

I am so proud to be Lexi's Mommy!

I want Lexi to know how much I love her.  I want her to know that I have a testimony of this Gospel.  I kow God lives and that He loves us.  I know that if we turn to Him in prayer when in need He will hear us and will give us answers.  I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He died for us so that we can return to live with Him someday.  I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth.  I know that we have a living prophet today to help lead and guide us through these difficult times.  What a loving Heavenly Father we have to give us someone when we would need it the most.  I know that if we live by example and follow the principles of the gospel, we will be able to share this joy with others. 
 

I love my Heavenly Father so much and I am so thankful to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
