Come, little child, and together we’ll learn
Of His commandments, that we may return
Home to his presence, to live in his sight
Always, always to walk in the light.
On Sunday, I lost it.
Church is always hard. There are babies everywhere. There are pregnant women and mothers of two (and three and four!) healthy kiddos that just don’t understand what they’ve got right in front of them.
Our lesson was about nurturing, and I just barely made it through with dry eyes. But then we sang “Teach Me to Walk in the Light” for the closing song in Relief Society, and I couldn’t even make it through the first verse without tears streaming down my face.
It’s the lullaby I sing to Jack, and the lullaby I sang to Amelia before she was born.
To think her little ears will never get to hear my cracked, off-key voice sing to her again just breaks my heart into a million pieces. But do you think she still attends family home evening on Mondays, and silently sings along to the hymns with us? And at family prayer each night – does her spirit kneel and pray with us?
no doubt in my mind that she hangs out and is a part of your family.
I have no doubt that she attends those family events. But more importantly is there in the quiet moments in your house or the times you are struggling. I know she is watching out for her momma.
Absolutely. She’s probably singing along.
