Day 10: Sunday Mornings

Now that our ward has split, and we have afternoon church, Sunday mornings for me are H.A.R.D. Before, we would come home from church, and after a snack, the kids would run up to their rooms to play quietly and entertain themselves until dinner time. But Sunday mornings, not so much. Today Eugene broke out the origami, which was a great activity. The one thing that I do love about afternoon church, is that fasting a complete 24 hours has been so much easier! I am so proud of my little Callie. She fasts a complete 24 hour fast, and does so without complaining or fussing. When the first fast Sunday came along, I was wondering if I should give her a little snack before we went to church, or let her have a small breakfast, because she just turned 8, and fasting that long seemed too hard for little people. Then I realized that I shouldn't seek to alter or change what we have been asked to do by inspired leaders. And once I told Callie, that Heavenly Father and I both knew she was capable of completing a full fast, she stepped up and hasn't had any issues with it. I need to remember to not to look for exceptions when things get hard in life.
