Lesson from a child

I thought I would share with you today a conversation I overheard between two little girls.  I actually heard it about three years ago {In Nauvoo, while waiting for the pageant to start}, but I will never forget it.  The conversation went something like this-

   "Hi, do you live here?"

"No."

"Do you go to primary, and are you a Mormon?"

"Yes"

"How come you don't have sleeves on your shirt?"

The girls looked to be around 8 or 9 years old.  Can you guess which little girl has a Mother who knows?

I learned three things that day.

1. That even in our youth- we can teach a great lesson by our example.
2. That it's never too early to teach modesty.
3. That what I teach as a Mother really does make a difference.

I know there's no hard and fast rules set down on how to dress our very young daughters- We are taught correct principles and then are to govern ourselves.

I just love this talk by sister Beck- Mothers who Know.  I so believe that to be true. After over 21 years of serving in the Young women's program, you start to see a pattern of success and failure- and most of it starts with how we dress our daughters.

That's why, when I see a little girl with sleeves, I know she has a Mother who knows.
