Saturday I woke up, still dark out side, and got ready to go to the temple. I didn't attend a session. I was in the children's center with the sweet little children that were waiting to be sealed to their parents that day. I was with Gavin, age 4, for most of the morning. While he was coloring and enjoying a fruit snack...he looked at me with his sweet innocent smile and said, "your nice". It warmed my heart. Now if I can strive to be nice:
When things are not going my way
when everyone is not doing what I want
when life hasn't dealt me what I thought it should
when someone cuts me off
when someone misunderstands me
when I'm tired
when the house is a mess
when my teenagers don't want my advice
when someone has another opinion than mine

What a neat experience. I too am trying to be more nice. Life is easier and happy when I am. I think you are always nice Natalie : ). I love your pictures of the kids in the last post!
You ARE nice Natalie. And warm and loving. I often think of you and think, I want to make other feel like Natalie makes people feel. True story. Happened several times this week. :)
