i want her to know Him

this picture of the Savior is hanging in the foyer at church. 

yesterday, while kenley was fussing during the last 30 minutes, i took her out and we stood in front of this painting. she is always very observant. always looking around, taking in her surroundings.

and then i said to her (in my mommy baby voice), "kenley, do you see Jesus? it's Jesus! do you remember Him?" a huge smile appeared on her face, like she really did remember him, as she was living with Him and Heavenly Father just a few short months ago.

"Your life didn't begin at birth and it won't end at death.  Before you came to earth, your spirit lived with Heavenly Father who created you.  You knew Him, and He knew and loved you."

and then i had a mama moment.

i want her to know Him.

i want to teach her all i can about the Savior.

i want her to know that He lives.  that He, and her Father in Heaven, love her.

i want her to know that because of Him, she can live with her Father and Jesus Christ again.

i want her to turn to her Father in prayer, and rely on her Savior when she needs help. and, if she's like her mother, she'll need a lot.

i want her to love Him.

i want her to know Him.
