“Later Grandma!” – Step 11

During lunch one day I was talking to my Granddaughter Sammy (age four) and called her my “sister.” She told me in no uncertain terms that I was not her sister. I started trying to help her understand that in a “Heavenly” context I really was. I was barely into the explanation when she bolted from her chair at the kitchen table and said, as she skipped out of the room, “Let’s talk about this later Grandma.”

I chuckled to myself because it reminded me of the way I occasionally treat the Lord. Sometimes when he wants to do a little explaining, instead of feasting “upon the words of Christ” (2 Nephi 32:3) I say, in so many words, “Let’s talk about this later.”
