A Child's faith

     I have been talking to the girls about what is going to happen with Brigham and they have faith beyond their years.  Asia does not understand fully, but I truly believe Olivia understands more than any of us think.  The other day in the car Olivia started explaining to me that we have 3 girls and soon to be 2 boys in our family.  I agreed but told her Brigham would not be coming home with us from the hospital.  She interrupted and said, "yeah mom, We need to give Brigham lots of love here and make sure he stays healthy and strong and then he will go to Heaven, But don't you worry mom Heavenly Father is going to take good care of him."  She said it so matter of fact and with such faith.  I couldn't help but feel her strength in me, I agreed with her and we went on with our drive.            

     What if I had faith like a child?  I mean I have a knowledge and a testimony of what will happen, but I definitely don't have this overwhelmingly simple faith.  My brain complicates things, it makes me think about the what ifs? the how am I going to be able to get through this?  The whys and ifs and buts about the whole plan.  But to Brigham it is simple too, He doesn't feel this overwhelming pain and heartache.  He is comfortable and just "Chillin" in there, and when he comes he will definitely feel the love from his earthly family and then he will go peacefully back to Heaven.  On the other hand, We will feel the longing for more, the search for peace, and the answer to why.  But, what if we tried to see the whole plan in a child's eyes? What if I stopped complicating things and tried to focus on the eternal perspective?  We would be like my 5 yr old daughter and Brigham, we would feel peace.
     I am going to try to look at this through the eyes of my own children and keep moving forward with the simple and unfailing faith of a child.
