A little girl's love for her Savior

I have been one of the lucky few that have grown up in the gospel, in a loving home, with a loving family, and loving parents with strong testimonies. Because I have had this growing up I have always known that the gospel is true. I have had several experiences in my life that have testified this to me and made it so that I cannot deny the gospel, my Savior, or My Heavenly Father. All of these experiences, as special and amazing as they were/are, probably could not compare to the experience I had yesterday morning with my sweet Rayni Lou.

We had some friends over the other night for dinner and I had some pictures that were sitting on some chairs that I had yet to hang up. I moved them into Rayni's room out of the way for the party. They were on the floor propped up on her cedar chest. Well yesterday morning I was changing her diaper on the floor. For most of the time she was looking at me and up at the ceiling. All the sudden she turned her head and was looking at one of those pictures. She started wiggling like crazy and had the biggest smile on her face. She started huming and cooing at the picture. I thought that she was just being silly. (This is a new thing for her to be doing... smiling and cooing) so I thought that she was just practicing. I was not aware of what it was that she was looking at till she started getting really excited. I looked over and this is what I saw.

Tears filled my eyes as I realized she was smiling at her Savior. It hasn't been that long that she has left her Savior's and Father in Heaven's arms. It is still clear in her mind where it is that she came from. She knows that she is a Daughter of her Heavenly Father and a sister to her brother and Savior.

She sat there for 20 minutes just staring, smiling, and cooing. Her attention never left the picture. I realized how special this moment was and one that I didn't want to forget. I hurried and grabbed my phone and shot a few shots of her talking to her Savior.

Because of the miracle she is we have always felt a special feeling when we are with her. Im sure like most parents do. We feel of the love that our Savior and Heavnly Father have for her. There have been times that she will be staring up at the ceiling and smiling and I say to her, "Who's up there. Are there angles up ther watching over you?... Is Grandpa Syd, Grandpa Stanley, and Grandpa Ed up there?" I know that there are angels watching over her and all of us everyday. How amazing it is to have this re-testified to me through the smiles of a little girl!

3 Nephi 17:23-24
And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones.
And as they looked to behold they cast their eyes towards heaven, and they saw the heavens open, and they saw angels descending out of heaven as it were in the midst of fire; and they came down and encircled those little ones about, and they were encircled about with fire; and the angels did minister unto them.
