You think that school is out and we'd have time to read. Think again. Since school is out there has been non stop camps. Youth Camps, Football camps, West Fest Competitions, Hospitalization of Grandma Peta and chicken coop. Yes, you read right. My husband is making a chicken coop and everything else comes second. I have been working non-stop on my new shift from 6am-2pm and came home to a lethally hot house 'cause we have no air conditioning as for now. So the only reading that has been going on really, is my Scripture reading at Work. I read every morning from 6-7am simply because there are no calls coming in.
So, I guess our family scripture reading is seriously taking a vacation now but I'm trying to get my husband to read with the kids instead of waking up and going right outside the door to work. We need to get back to the basic and not let the craziness of Summer take over our Family Spiritual Life.
I have also been called to be the Primary President in our ward and boy do I have my plate full but rest assured I love it all. Reading the Book of Mormon has helped me tremendously, especially when it comes to dealing with trials and tribulations. The High Priest Alma when he was converted by the prophet Abinadi's words, to the city of Ammonihah and how the lord told Alma the younger to go back and preach repentance to them once again. That it was only through the prayers of the righteous that the city of Ammonihah was still spared. Otherwise the Lord would have already destroyed them due to their wickedness.
There will come a time where we will once again be organized as a family for all our reading. For now, our imperfections remain but that doesn't mean we will give up trying. There is always a way back.
