RIP Kitty

Mason and his best friend Tallon came to me and told me that they saw a baby kitty that had died on the side of the road. They felt very strongly that they needed to bury it so that it could make it's way to Heaven the right way. My heart melted! They told me that they felt it in their hearts that it was important to make sure this was done. So they filled up a 5 gallon container with dirt. They also made a head stone and picked flowers. As they were putting the dirt on the kitten they made sure to do it gently so that if it wasn't all the way to heaven it wouldn't hurt it more. Once kitty was properly buried they placed the head stone. Then they both held the flowers and bowed their heads. As I write this and reflect on this moment today it really makes me think about these special spirits that were saved for this time. To come into the world and bring us peace and joy. Their spirits are so tender and I am so grateful that the Lord has put these children into our lives. The joy that comes from being a mother is something that you just can't explain. It is a feeling inside your spirit. When we really understand the gift of having children, and how they build our testimonies and spirits it is amazing. When we got home they both gave me a hug and smiled so brightly. They told me that they felt like Heavenly Father was proud of them.
