Primary Program is a Miracle

I don't know how many people look at the Primary Program and think it's a miracle. Perhaps the Primary presidency and a few parents. I was so moved today by the program in our ward and felt that in fact it was a miracle. It was a miracle to me because of my sweet little Jack. 8 months ago he would not go to primary. He couldn't stand sharing time or any of the singing. Hated it. He had spent the entire year prior in nursery with me and Andy because he just couldn't handle the other. I was so nervous when we moved to Cedar City that Jack would continue to be a major hardship at church. The opposite has been the case. He has done so well (with the exception of punching his cousin in the head today - sorry Jake). To see him up on the stand with the other primary children, singing the songs and saying his part was nothing short of a miracle to me. With the little mans sensory issues he has had serious challenges with noise and the singing really puts him off. Well, don't know what Sister Fox has done but Jack is a changed man. He loves to sing now. I am so grateful.

All the kids did so great. It was a really well done program. I made a few quick notes about the program and my kids.

Natty Sue
* Just breathe. Poor child was very nervous.
* Love her beautiful smile.
* Did a great job sharing her talk and story and did a great job on all the songs.

Jackson Boy
* What an animated face maker.
* The boy loved the singing and did such a fine job today emphasizing the last note.
* Jackson on the mic.

AndyBoy
* Where's Andy - could barely see the top of his head when he was sitting.
* Andy in control, letting Anna and I know who is in charge while singing.
* Great job on his part - God is the Father of my Spirit.

I opened the scriptures to 3 Nephi 17 during the program and was just moved by the spirit. This has always been one of my favorite chapters as the Savior gathers the people, heals them, prays for them, and blesses the children. I could feel that love today as a child of a loving Heavenly Father. The Lord still gathers and blesses his children. He knows and loves each of us. I am grateful for the primary children that participated today and for the Spirit that was in that meeting.
