October 17, 2010 Paul and I were able to visit my parents on their mission in Tallahassee, Florida. That Sunday while we were there we visited the Branch that they attended. To preface this, a few year back I was the primary president in our ward. I was discouraged because we only had 40 kids in our entire primary (this is compared to the normal for the area of 100+ kids per primary). It was a challenge to do certain things because of the few children we had. While Paul and I were visiting this Branch in Southern Georgia I was humbled. I went to primary with my mom. They had 6 children there. They usually have 8. They were practicing their primary program coming up a few weeks later and I was humbled to see these children practicing and to see the primary president working with them. Because of the small size of this primary, there was only the primary president, a lady who helped, and my mom to play the piano. They were definitely challenged because of their small size! I was humbled to know that with only 8 children in their primary, they still sing their songs, they still put on a primary program, and they still have sharing time and class time. They make it work! Not much was different from my small primary of 40 children! I realized how blessed I was to have that many children in my primary! I realized that I need to always recognize and count my blessings!
Psalms 115:13 "He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great."
