We haven’t told the kids we are going to Disneyland. We want to keep it a secret until the morning that we actually leave. It was a frustrating night with the kids. They weren’t listening to us. We tried all night to get Gehrig to clean him room. I just kept thinking, “If you knew what we are planning for you; if you knew how much we loved you and wanted you to be happy, you wouldn’t be acting this way.”

As I was thinking this I got a sense that Heavenly Father must feel the same way about me sometimes. He has basically promised eternal life and all that He has if we just do what He asks us to do. He must feel the same way sometimes. “If you only knew what I had in store for you, you wouldn’t be acting this way.”
