Needs and Wants

Yesterday I found a paper in Rio's school folder with a list of "Wants" on one side and "Needs" on the other. Here are Rio's wants: a sister, crayons, markers, colored pencils, and a bulletin board. And here's what she listed under needs: house, clothing, family, scriptures, and church. I know her kindergarten teacher was expecting her to write food, clothes, shelter, etc. under needs, but I'm so glad my little girl knows she needs the church and scriptures in her life. I'm grateful for a 5 year old's testimony at this time of year that reminds us to keep our perspective on our needs and wants.

That is so super sweet. But I think she put "sister" on the wrong side. ;)

What a sweet girl with great parents who teacher her well. She sounds like she would like to be a teacher from her wants list. So cute!
