Day 5

Nephi Chapter 5

What we read...
today we read about the coming home of the boys from Laban's place and Sariah's thoughts and feelings.

What we learned...
That sometimes we need a "sign" or "proof" in order to believe things. But we should not wait for one either, she cause her self lots of unneeded heart ache, which is often the case for many of us.

Insights...
I love this chapter because rarely is a women talked about in the scriptures. Cameron and I were both imagining what was going back home in the tent while their sons were gone.
Sariah- "When are the boys coming back! I can't believe you let them go to their deaths? What kind of a Father are you? Did you do the right thing? I am going to be so mad at you if they don't come back!"
Lehi- "Oh dear (as his eyes roll) I know what I am doing. Don't worry. Trust in God."

Lehi I am sure was so happy for the sons to be back for many reasons, ONE so his wife would stop nagging him. It must of been a big enough event that Nephi heard all about her doubts when he got home and then wrote about it. "Oh Mom!" Thinks Nephi.
