Kelise

Kelsie is such a good sweet spirit. She is obedient because she has a great love for her Father in Heaven and also feels his great love for her. We were watching the Suite Life on Disney channel and she asked me “aren’t we supposed to be 18 before we date?” on the show the boys are 13 and have steady girlfriends and single date. I got my copy of For the Strength of Youth. We read together the counsel of the Lord on waiting to date until you are atleast 16 and that at that age there is no quota or rush. Next we watched “Cheaper by the Dozen” where a young girl lives with her boyfriend, Kelsie again asked “What does it say in the Strength about living with your boyfriend, and how about saying bad words?” She is only 7 years old but her parents have done an amazing job because they put being a spouse and parent above anything else in the world. They are not perfect, no one is perfect but they have a perfect desire to please God, to live the plan of happiness. Kelise isn’t judging others; she is learning that in life you do have to make judgments on what you will do with your choices. It is a fine line we walk in life between following the counsel of God and not elevating ourselves falsely somehow. The choices we make don’t make our worth any greater in the eyes of our Father in Heaven, he doesn’t play favorites. He does keep his promises, and he is bound to fullfill them based on our choices. Plus we are very lucky to have repentance and second chances:) I love that Kelsie is learning at a young age Who she is, Why she is here, What she can do to find lasting happiness, Where she came from before this earth, and When her choices count.
