Judgments

Judgments
A lovely young woman spoke in Church yesterday. She talked about judging and Family. How quick are we to make judgments about a family member or a friend? Why do we look to the past to make our opinions about those closest to us?,,,,, he has gotten drunk so many times, can’t trust him at all,,, ,she is way to irresponsible and will never change….they spent their unexpected money windfall on ‘dumb’ things, they can’t handle their money,,, she’s let me down in the past,,,,, he’ll never amount to anything,,, Have we thought these things and others? What gives us the right?? Why is it we pick at the little scabs of mistakes and not extol the little virtues?? Lets all try to find something GOOD in those around us! Some may have a tough time finding these but take the time to TRY!! Do this with no expectations, not every good deed will be reciprocated. We all have said, “I won’t do something nice for so and so because they won’t do something nice for me” See how good it feels to be a nice person, besides it just may confuse that other person!!
NONE of us are PERFECT
All of us are HUMAN
Just for today, find something good in everyone you meet

Hey it's called LIFE

Well the economy has taken a NOSE-DIVE and everyone is tightening the Belt!! Let us all PRAY for our new president elect. May not have been my choice but that's whats so great about living in a FREE COUNTRY!! I will PRAY everyday that he makes the right decisions for our country and for me! I don't always agree with his 'stuff' but I can agree to disagree and in this wonderful country of ours I am allowed to speak my mind!! YAA for the USA!!
Life is good, We are making it! We woke up alive this morning and hope to do it tomorrow and the next day and the next. But if I don't wake up, Know I did the best i could and loved all of your reading this and quite a few more. Tell everyone you love that, YES I DO LOVE YOU!!
Do the best you can everyday and you will have no regrets! if you regret it, do that for a moment and MOVE ON!!! Today is a GIFT, that's why we call it the present!

~~I LOVE YOU~~

COMPLICATION

Philosophy can be said to consist of three activities:
To see the commonsense answer, to get yourself so deeply into the problem that the commonsense answer is unbearable, and to get from that situation back to the commonsense answer. But the commonsense answer in itself is no solution; everyone knows it. One must not in philosophy attempt to short-circuit problems. - Ludwig Wittgenstein

I challenge you all to face one problem, trivial or monumental, and solve it without short cuts.
I will be facing the problem of COMPLICATION. I have sunken into a well of over-complication that I intend to correct!

Food Storage

Well the Prophet has told us time and time again to get out act together and get our FOOD STORAGE up to date,,,Well I for one am LISTENING!!!! We have quite a bit already and have been using it too and we have an appointment October 25(earliest time we could get) and will be filling in the gaps in our storage!

Check her out and share with others!!

Happy Anniversary

Sunday July 27 Mark and i will celebrate out 12th anniversary!! And "they" said it wouldn't last!!

Child's Pain

Why do our children have to re-live the pains we have already felt? Why can’t there be a moratorium once the pain is felt in a family? Why must there be heart-break all over again, didn’t I have enough for all already? Or why can’t I be burdened with it again INSTEAD of my child? Heart-break does not leave visible scars like an accident does. We put on our ‘happy faces’ and go on with life, but it hurts as much as a broken bone or a gash in the skin. I just want my children to be happy, healthy and joyful. Is that too much to ask? I know that Heavenly Father only gives each of us as much as we can handle and when we think we can’t handle it, He gives us more strength, but I cannot help but hope for more happiness for my children, Selfish, I guess. In the meantime I can only pray for my children and hope they can weather the storms of life without capsizing or sinking. I pray everyday!And just keep loving them!!

Work, Work, Work

This week we finally RE opened the Amber Unicorn!! Myrna has had it in her mind to re open for a few years now and her baby has finally been delivered!!

New Presidency

Thomas S. Monson is the new President of my LDS Church, with Henry B. Eyring as First Counselor and Dieter F. Uchtdorf as Second Counselor. I testify that these men are true Prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know in my heart that i wll come to love President Monson as much as I have loved President Hinkley. This Church is True and I am forever greatful for it being in my life

MY Prophet

Today we buried MY Prophet, Gorden B. Hinkley. He has been the 15th President & Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I joined the church in 1996 and he had been the Prophet since March 12, 1995. Before I had joined the Church I was able to tour the not yet dedicated Las Vegas LDS Temple. I was joined by my Father and my Grandmother & my Children. Grandma and I went thru twice because we knew we must have missed something, little did I know that a few years later I would be escorted there by by wonderful husband, Mark. There are no words to describe my feelings there and on the many return trips we have made. I have taken my parents names there and my grandparents and their parents and their parents. I am proud to be the first member of my family to know the Church! President Hinkley will be missed but I know that I will see him again. God be with us till we meet again!! God bless the new President & Prophet. I KNOW this Church is true and am thankful for Prophets, Seerers and Revalators. I am so proud to be a member of the Church, I leave this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Way of Life!!

How Do They Know?
A row of bottles on my shelf
Caused me to analyze myself.
One yellow pill I have to pop
Goes to my heart so it won't stop.
A little white one that I take
Goes to my hands so they won't shake.
The blue ones that I use a lot
Tell me I'm happy when I'm not.
The purple pill goes to my brain
And tells me that I have no pain.
The capsules tell me not to wheeze
Or cough or choke or even sneeze.
The red ones, smallest of them all
Go to my blood so I won't fall.
The orange ones, very big and bright
Prevent my leg cramps in the night.
Such an array of brilliant pills
Helping to cure all kinds of ills.
But what I'd really like to know...
Is what tells each one where to go!

There's always a lot to be thankful for if
you take time to look for it. For example
I am sitting here thinking how nice it is
that wrinkles don't hurt...

What are GrandParents?

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her own. They like other people's.
A grandfather is a man & a grandmother is a lady!
Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them.
They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run.
It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars. They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'
They don't say, 'Hurry up.'
Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.
They wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums out.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
They have to answer questions like 'why isn't God married?' and 'How come dogs chase cats?'. When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again. Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the onl y grown ups who like to spend time with us.
They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers with us every time and kiss us even when we've acted bad.
A 6 year old was asked where his grandma lived. ''Oh,'' he said, ''she lives at the airport and when we want her we just go get her. Then when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.''
Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!
It's funny when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.'
