Out of the Mouths of Babes

We read in the scriptures that "out of the mouth of babes" will we be taught gospel truths. Recently, we have had moments where our sweet Ella has given Rhyetta and I important insight into our lives. Kian and Abby also contribute to our daily dose of "You Can't handle the Truth."

• We have unfortunately lost our focus with our good eating habits. Ella hasn't skipped a beat to make mention, "Daddy, you have a big belly." Always nice to hear, eh?
  
• Today, we had some friends from the ward visiting us. I am sitting in our recliner talking while Ella proceeds to climb up on my lap. Again, without skipping a beat she says, "Daddy you stink." After our friends left, Rhyetta came and smelled what Ella was talking about. Rhyetta mentioned, "Daddy doesn't smell," but Ella exclaimed, "Yes, he does smell."
• Today, during sacrament meeting the primary presented their program. Kian, Abby, and Ella did awesome jobs saying their parts. During the songs, you would hear Abby sing her heart out. This was especially true during the song "Together Forever." During this song, you could tell Abby believed what she was singing about and wanted to tell the whole world about it. So sweet to see her talent shine!

There's an old saying, "The Truth Hurts," but truths are also the sweetest words ever to fall on the ears of man, even if we don't want to hear it.
