I was listening and I didn't even know it

Several months ago when Lili moved to a size 3 diaper I for some strange reason changed the type of diaper I was using. I used to use a different set for the boys but for some reason I just wouldn't buy them. Every time I would buy the diapers I would think why do I buy these ones. They cost more and I get less. I seriously would walk up and  down the aisle trying to tell myself not to buy the more expensive ones or to just find something else. I would spend way to much time in the diaper aisle.However even when reason didn't support it I would still buy the others just because I felt like Lili needed these other ones. Well, recently I have read this article reports about the chemicals in Huggies leaking and giving kids 2nd degree burns. I thought it was fake, but then I check and it was real! Then last night I had a friend put the article and say that it happened to her son!  I couldn't believe it. Today I was at the store looking at diapers  walking up and down trying to convince myself to not purchase the same diapers and that is when it hit me. The old diapers I used to buy for the boys that for some reason I wouldn't buy any more were the diapers hurting children. I now know that for one reason and one reason only I wasn't buying the old diapers. The reason was every time I was hearing a very soft voice telling me the right choice. I know now the my concern and change was 100% based and done by the Holy Ghost. I am so grateful for this sweet gift I have. I am even more grateful to know I was listening to it, when I had absolutely no idea I was listening to it. Today was a nice little reminder of the blessings around us.

Eli my little prophet

Tonight I was in the office reading the scriptures out loud. Eli came out wondering who I was talking to. He was so excited to see me reading the scriptures! He asked if he could sit and listen. I told him that was always something he could do. He listened asked questions and knew answers to things I honestly thought were over his head. I've said this a lot before almost as a joke but now I'm kind of convinced it's real...I am raising a future prophet.
