Well, it is 2008 and it is another chance to change and grow.
As a family we went to the “Classic Fun Center”. They had roller-skating, bounce houses, climbing jungle, laser tag, and video games. I was pleasantly surprised that we ended up spending over four hours there. All of the kids had a fun time and it wasn’t really all that expensive. It was probably the best activity that we have had in a long while. The older kids didn’t get bored and the younger kids didn’t cry. It was all in good fun.
It was also the last day of Christmas vacation for the kids. It was fun to have a break, but the break has been too long and it is time for them to get back to school and into a more regular schedule. They might not totally admit it, but I think that they were getting a bit restless with this too.
Reading in the Book of Mormon about people boasting in their own strength and not giving God the credit. When we do this we find ourselves alone and without the support of our God. I can use all the extra help I can get. I need to be careful that I acknowledge his assistance and not take all the credit myself.
