She's on the right track...

By now you know that Ava and I have some of our best discussions in the car on our way home from work. Yesterday was no different. Ava was excited to see Daddy when we got home, and I had to tell her that Daddy was not going to be there. Tonight was his first day of school. (EMT Class)

Ava: "Why is Daddy going to school?"

Me: "Because he wants to learn how to help people who get hurt."

Ava: "Why does he need to do that? Can't he just give them a blessing?"

I was so surprised and overjoyed to hear this reply. She's right! If only more people knew about the healing power of the priesthood - what a difference it would make in the world! Thank you Ava, for reminding me of the great blessing it is to have a priesthood holder in our home. I am truly grateful for the gospel in my life and for my sweet children, who remind me everyday to cherish the simple things in life!
