Max-isms

In his prayer yesterday at lunch:

The other day Jimmy asked Max to empty the dishwasher. He came down a few minutes later and Max hadn’t done anything yet. Max told Jimmy that he was thinking about disobeying, but that he decided it would be better to choose the right… and went to work. I can see this in Max so much lately. There are things he wants to do that aren’t the best, but deep down he wants to do what is right so he feels conflicted. I’m actually grateful he can put into words his thought-process because I know this will help him think more clearly when a choice needs to be made. Max is full of faith. I know that for sure. Every good choice he makes will strengthen him for the next choice he needs to make (please remember this Max!!!)

A while ago Max said in his evening prayer, “Grateful for the prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and his life. Grateful that the prophet’s wife can be in the Spirit World.” Having these two separated for this time seems sad to me, but I know Max saw it as a special thing for Sister Monson to get to be with Jesus.
