This is us

Getting to Know You

In which I am grateful
In which I am happy
In which I am woman
In which I answer some questions
In which I celebrate Labor Day
In which I have a couch session
In which I have deep thoughts on my 5Pillar class
In which I love Arizona
In which I open the educational can of worms
In which I run like a duck
In which I share my recipe
In which I talk about my flock
In which I try to have clear vision
In which I type a word I never say
In which I'm random
In which you can meet the man behind the madness

I would love to put a kissy picture here, but I doubt My Man would let me

Words from President Thomas S. Monson

The Savior taught His disciples, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.”

I believe the Savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.

Smart man

Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world. What do ships, railways, mine cars and government, etc., exist for except that people may be warmed and safe in their own home? ... [The homemaker's] is the job for which all others exist. - C.S. Lewis

Little Prince

This is true

It seems that the blessings of motherhood never cease (I guess because the hard times never do either), and the joy is so much more than we could have expected. - Linda Eyre

Sunshine

I'm trying

In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us, and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers. - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Mr. Squishy

I need to remember this

It is true that we acquire children in a different way than we would acquire a company. And we are amateurs at the business of parenthood. One morning we wake up with a pink, wrinkled little bundle beside the hospital bed and presto! we are parents.

However, the development of lovely, joyful, responsible children doesn't just happen accidentally, any more than a successful corporation just happens. A unified, organized progressing family requires a unified, organized, progressive plan! Setting goals and producing a plan are just as essential to a mother and father as to a good company. - Linda Eyre
