Pulling All the Stops

Before telling you a story I must warn you:

The band aid on Lincoln's nose was placed because
He absolutely insisted that his itchy scratch required a band aid.

Lincoln: "Mom, I just spilled my cereal on the floor."
Me: "That's okay. Just pick it up."

Lincoln: "I can't my wrist really hurts right now."
Me: "Then use your other wrist. It isn't a big deal. You can do it."

Lincoln: "Well, my back hurts, so I really can't do it.
And my knee is hurt."

Me: "Lincoln, you have got to be kidding me!
You are hilarious.
Now pick up your cereal."

Lincoln: "O...kay."
He dutifully returned the cereal to the bowl.
However, he wasn't excited about it.

Inspired Or Ingenious?

I put Lincoln down for a nap.

30 minutes later he was still awake.
"I not take a nap."
"Heavenly Father does not want me
to take a nap."

How do I argue with that logic?
Or that adorable face?

It would be great if everything we want
We could declare that Heavenly Father wants it for us...

And it would be so.

Heavenly Father wants me to be a great mother.
Heavenly Father wants me to have lots of friends.
Heavenly Father wants me to be kind to others.
Heavenly Father wants me to be wealthy.

Okay 3 out of 4 isn't bad.
I think it is important to assert here...
Be careful what you wish for.
