Kali's shining moment

Kali had a great moment at church today, I was so proud of her.  We arrived late at church this morning, we drove home from Taber in order to attend our ward, and had to sit in the overflow at the back.  Our friends were sitting next to us, their girls and Kali were having fun coloring and cutting.  Their Dad made a really cool rose out of pink paper and gave it to his daughter, she loved it and kept smelling it and kept it close to her face.  Kali admired it too.  He made a tiny one for Kali out of a pink gum wrapper, it even smelled like gum.  As he handed it to Kali, his daughter, who loved the previous rose went berserk, she had a major tantrum, I was quite surprised.  After a physical struggle with his daughter, Kali received the rose, smelled it and asked me if she could give the rose to her friend, who was still crying rather loudly in the back of the chapel.  Kali felt so happy that she could make her friend happy, I could see it in her eyes, and I know she saw it in my eyes.

What joy I felt in seeing my daughter serve in the capacity that she knows how, I can only imagine the joy our Heavenly Father feels, even in a world of turmoil, when we go the extra mile to serve another.  I really love my sweet daughter, she truly is a gem.
