It is 7:00 p.m. and I am just now posting this...it's been that kind of day. Nothing really bad happened, just an off day. Katie is doing good. We are very glad about that! Thank you for your prayers.
I would like to shield and protect my children from any hardship, pain, or challenge, but I know that would stunt their growth and development. However, watching my children struggle and hurt, is the most painful thing I have ever had to endure. My solice comes from knowing that Heavenly Father knows and loves my children too, and that he will help them even when I can't.
Elder Russell M. Nelson said: "Parents bear the primary responsibility to strengthen their [children's] faith. Let them feel your faith, even when sore trials come upon you. Let your faith be focused on our loving Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Teach that faith with deep conviction. Teach each precious boy or girl that he or she is a child of God, created in His image, with a sacred purpose and potential. Each is born with challenges to overcome and faith to be developed" (Russell M. Nelson, "Face the Future with Faith," Apr. 2011 general conference).
