Our home teacher started out his message tonight by referencing the apostle Peter. “Here’s a guy who was told by the Savior that he had little faith, he denied the Savior three times, and at one point was so angry that he cut off someone’s ear. And yet, he was one of Jesus’ apostles.” He went on to explain that nobody (other than Jesus himself, of course) was perfect, and that we should try to find the good in everybody. He elaborated, “Now our Bishop is a great man – he does a LOT of things for a lot of people, but he’s not perfect. Our prophet is a worthy and effective leader of the church – but he’s not perfect. Your mom here is the Relief Society President, and she seems like a good lady but I imagine she’s not perfect either.”
Now.
Here’s the good part.
Because just as he said that I looked over at my daughter next to me and she was vigorously shaking her head in agreement with our home teacher. She patted my arm and apologized, “Sorry Mom, I still love ya.”
It was Drew’s turn. “Yeah Mom, you DO call me a ‘freak-wad’ an awful lot.”
Go ahead, try to be as cool as me.
I dare you.
