Muffin Sundays

Sundays are for muffins.

It's tradition now.

For awhile I would buy Cinnamon Streusel or Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin mixes to have on hand just for Sunday mornings, but then I finally bought a mini muffin pan and started using all my Grandma Judy's homemade applesauce to make us applesauce muffins every Sunday morning to eat while we watch Music and the Spoken Word.

They are so good! Except when you only have 1 egg left, but need 2. We could never be vegan. They were not good without that egg.

 And of course whenever I take pictures my kids want me to take a picture of them too.

Even when they are never wearing any clothes.

 After church we snack on grilled cheese sandwiches.

It's the little things.

Like I said, I live to eat food.

Kasen wanted to make a hymn book during sacrament, so when we got home we did! He drew music like that on every page. And even has me sing hymns out of it.

Kasen also shared his testimony for the first time this month! He has asked for at least a year. I let him try once, but he got too scared to speak.

This time I asked him at our bench what he wanted to say. "All the church things!" But then he started talking about the zoo. I told him our testimony should be about Jesus so he assured me he'd say that after. So... I let him go up.

I told him to say, "I want to share my testimony. I love reading scripture stories."

But then he got confident and went for it all on his own.

"I love my friend Hank. I love Tai. I love everyone. I love ducks. I love primary. I love Jesus."

I tried to get him to end a few times, but he kept saying, "I'll say that after!"

I was so proud of him for getting up and sharing what he loves. Probably makes it easier when you can't see over the pulpit yet! 

Last week one of the Come Follow Me topics was how we are to be like children. Kasen is who I want to be like. It doesn't matter if he KNOWS everything before he gets up, but he still goes and shares what is perfectly enough. It's enough to hold onto a little bit of faith and a little bit of hope without being able to say that we KNOW. What we hope to know is enough. We know enough to continue learning and continue faithful.

I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world and that He lives.

For me that is enough to do my best to follow Him.

Happy Sunday.
