This morning we are preparing to attend Alex's confirmation at her United Methodist Church. I've already done my hair and make-up. We left the service early due to Seth having a bad headache and the singing and talking made it worse.
As expected, I watched and listened to the service with a grateful heart that I am a member of the true and living church of Jesus Christ. Their confirmation consists of the pastor, parents, and god-parents laying their hands on Alex's head while the pastor said something. I'm so grateful that Jim has the priesthood and will baptize Noah and confirm him through the power of the priesthood in our church. How blessed we are with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, to be a part of their plan of salvation! I wanted to shout, "wait, I know how to do this the Lord's way!"But I knew they would think I was crazy and ask me to leave...
We went to our church and dad came with us for Sacrament meeting. Seth complained of a headache and stomach ache, but he really doesn't like going to church. I drove dad home afterwards, and had Seth ride with me, still complaining and whining loudly. When I asked Seth if he wanted to play a game, he perked up a bit, and I knew he wanted to stay home. So I did what any good mom would do: I took him with me to church and talked to his teacher, who I don't know the name of, and she let me sit with Seth's class during the senior primary sharing time. We sung the hymn "Praise To The Man" and the class singing the lyrics and playing the song with bells. Their lesson was about Joseph Smith's life, where they looked up scriptures for the answers the teacher would ask and the class who knew the answer first shined one side of a penny to represent the last dispensation with the fullness of the gospel which Joseph Smith ushered in. I like senior primary!!
