I forgot to record this funny moment we saw in Dad's ward. There was a little 14 month old girl two rows in front of us and she mostly stood on the bench with her mom holding on to her arm. The mom had several other children and during the sacrament she was looking the other way.
The 14 month old was on the end of the bench. The deacons had just finished passing the water and were waiting in line to return. The little girl looked at the trays, reached for one, then removed her binky and reached out again. The deacon never flinched or moved and she was successful in grabbing a cup of water from the tray. Her mom was still looking the other way. As the baby tried to put the cup to her mouth, a young teen boy in the row behind her took the water cup from her. She turned and gave him the meanest scowl I have ever seen. And she kept scowling at him for a few minutes. She had been successful in getting something and he had taken it away from her!
It was sort of hilarious and we were quietly laughing and glad we had witnessed the whole thing.
The other great moment in church was when I sat next to dad in his wheelchair and shared the songbook with him. My tears started flowing as I listened to him sing the hymns and hear his voice. I don't know why, I guess it is the spirit that is so present when we sing of the Savior and ponder the words.
