Future Michelangelo?

6 days ago I left my house to go to Young Women's. I needed to do a little grocery shopping before I came home so it would be easier and faster without the kids! To my surprise and being extremely livid, I found this on my wall above my bed! (I'll give you 3 guesses who the artist is.)













I immediately blamed Gordon for not watching the kids and threatened to quit going to YW! He said that was fine and that I shouldn't be mad at him for trying to get some sleep before going into work. Hmmm. Umm, I'm still mad just not at you anymore? I was still very upset and decided that I was just gonna have to live with my new artwork! I gradually got over it the next couple of days. Then, on either Friday or Saturday morning I was reading my scriptures. I came to 2Nephi chapter 2 and was reading about opposition in all things. I get to one of the verses and I literally laugh out loud! Lehi is speaking to his son Jacob about the fall of Adam and how it was needed for us to feel misery in order to feel joy. In verse 23 it says, "And they would have no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery... THE SCRIPTURES CLEARLY STATE THAT CHILDREN BRING MISERY! HAHA! Of course the most important lesson is to know that they bring you joy also! This is a lot harder for me to remember. I really do enjoy my kids when they are not making me miserable!
