I Want to Mind You
One Saturday night I was helping my mom load in her dishwasher. When she came in the room she started unloading and arranging it the way she likes to do it. We got in an argument over loading the dishwasher and she said I could help her with anything else, just not that. I was in a stubborn mood and told her that if she wanted my help then I was going to do it my way. At the end of our little argument I walked out of the room and told her that I was not going to help her ever again.
The next day at church I was feeling pretty guilty. The talks given in Sacrament meeting were on meekness and humility. During the last hour of church the spirit prompted me to go into the Primary to observe how they did things. I thought it was a good idea since I am the Primary President.
My mother plays the piano for the primary.
I walked in and they were practicing their Mother's Day song. They sang the second verse and tears streamed down my face. The lyrics said: "Mother I love you Mother I do, I want to help you because I love you. I want to mind you. I want to find you, happy and smiling because I love you. Mother I love you, I love you I do."
Immediately after the closing prayer I walked up to the piano and sat down next to my mom. I gave her a hug and said I was sorry and that I was going to mind her.
We both laughed. It felt good to apologize and to be forgiven. From now on, I will always try to mind my mother.
