That old, wise spirit shines through

Dear Olivia, We were at Laird Park last Wednesday. You were playing in the sandbox with your brother. A woman came with her two children to the park. The girl walked over to the swings and was trying to get on them. I noticed and was contemplating going to help her up, but also wanted to give her mom the opportunity to do it. At the same moment I was contemplating whether to go over there or not, you very matter-of-factly looked up and said, ''Mom, go over there and help that girl. She wants to get on the swing.'' In that moment, I saw a little 3-year old girl's body, but a very old, and wise spirit. You saw a need, and knew it needed to be fulfilled. It was kind of a magical, spiritual moment for me without you even realizing it. I felt chastised for just not doing it right away (but it was being considered)! The difference is that you would have just gone and done it whether or not that mom would have noticed then, or later. How special you are. How close you are to Heavenly Father's desires. To help those around us. May you always keep that about you. With love, Your mama.
