Nathan's act of service this morning

I decided to go to the temple this morning. I knew if I left about 7, I could be back before Tyler really got into his workday and wondering what to do with Alex. My kids are old enough to get themselves some cereal and get to the bus, so I wasn't too worried about them.

So I got up and dressed and headed out to have family scripture time before leaving. Nathan, my 11-year-old, was already in the kitchen preparing scrambled eggs so that his older siblings could have a good breakfast before dashing to the bus stop. He stepped up in the place of mom knowing I wouldn't have time to make anything this morning.

My kids never cease to amaze me. Sometimes I get the sweetest rewards for being their mom.
