Promptings

It stinks when you don't listen to a prompting.  I didn't listen today and Sunshine got hurt.  It's not bad and it's been a couple hours now and he doesn't even think about it, but I do.  I knew what was going to happen, but I brushed it off and thought, "No, he's smart enough.  It won't happen."  And then it did happen and I couldn't stop it.

It's one thing if you ignore a prompting and you, yourself, get hurt.  You think, "Man, that was stupid.  Now I'm paying the price for that."  But when your child gets hurt because you didn't listen to the Spirit's whisper in your mind, it's much worse.  You want to take their hurt away, but you can't.  You just get the guilt.  

Hopefully next time I will remember what happened today.  Next time, even though it's a little inconvenient and it may take an extra couple seconds of my time, I will listen and do what needs to be done.  Because this little face should not get hurt.

I'm so thankful for the blessing of the Holy Ghost and I'm thankful for a Heavenly Father who watches out for us. I'm thankful that I know my Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.

Oh, I've been there...
I try really hard to focus on that feeling that I had once I realized I blew it. I want to be better prepared for the next time I get that feeling. I hope that I will recognize it sooner and take action rather than brush it off.
