I'm the Map

Last weekend Julia listened as our Prophet, President Monsen, taught us important things. I don't remember exactly how Ben and I explained it to her, but today during church someone mentioned President Monsen and Julia whispered in my ear, "He shows us which path we should take." At first I was stunned by the depth of her perception, then she continued, "We want to go to Heaven and we ask him which way to go, just like the Map." It brought tears to my eyes and I was very amused by the analogy. The Map is Dora's friend who always helps Dora to find her way. I often feel like I should be doing a lot more as a mother, but today I felt like I had given my daughter the most priceless gift, a map back to our Heavenly Father. I don't mean to brag on myself, but rather on my very perceptive child who put those pieces together on her own.
