I learned a new term tonight while the kids were playing on the Switch together, it is “Rage Quit”. It means that you are so mad you quit the activity you are doing and storm off. Hearing the kids talk about it made me laugh to think of all the times though the years that my kids, with each other and sometimes with their friends (mostly the Saxeys) would be playing and get mad enough to Rage Quit. I’m not sure why I’m including this in our family blog. I guess because being a human can be kind of messy. Especially in our early years when we are forming our character.
Thinking of this brought to my mind a scripture I love that Lizzie shared with me today. It is found in the Book of Mormon at the end of the book. Moroni, a prophet who is alone and finishing up his record is writing down some of the things his father, Mormon had said. I’m sure these words brought him a lot of comfort. The scripture says,
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure.”
I love this because it is a message of hope. I felt a confirmation that if I just keep trying to be a “true follower of Jesus Christ” and repent often (daily), then I will be like Him, I will recognize Him in myself. I want that! So, the lesson here? I need to make sure and not “rage quit” when I am parenting, in my relationships, in my daily responsibilities, and in my efforts to be a true follower of my Savior.
