Andy was being a bit of a pain tonight. Actually, he has had a rough time lately. I have mentioned this before. We were reading a book called The Seven Miracles that Saved America. I think that is the title. Anyhow, we read through the first miracle of Christopher Columbus and some of the things that happened in his discovery of the new world. It was a good read. The kids were into it. When I said we would read more tomorrow, that it was time to move on to scriptures Andy got quite angry and started threatening me again. The threatening is getting out of hand and I had my fill of it so we ended up having a bit of a discussion.
That lead to a few different things part of which was how we treat each other. I then talked about when we get older we may very well find that some of our best friends are the people that are sitting here in this room. Well my goodness that one struck a chord with everyone. I was a little emotional when I said it and that launched Jack into state. He got pretty emotional and just started crying and talking about friends and how hard it is for him to not have any friends, just one friend who eats lunch with him in the smile room, Tristan. He talked about not having any friends at break to play with and I hurt for him. I know how he struggles with that and it is very hard for a parent. We talked about prayer and asking Heavenly Father to help him, to guide him to someone that needs a friend. He agreed that this would be a good thing. It will be fun to see it in action.
Jack started talking about people and he said that there are still good people in the world. He went on to say something that I found quite interesting. "There are still good people in the World. Some of them don't know they are good and they just need to find their good." That makes a lot of sense. We each need to find our good.
