To-do Lists

I was cleaning my little girls' room the other morning. Becca was in there. She was writing in her new journal that she had bought herself- she, and I, was pretty proud of the purchase. She asked me if I would like to see what was inside. I said, "Of course!" She pulled the key from her pillow case, the perfect hiding spot!   She opened to the first page. She had made a list. A to-do list. It read:   Becca's to do list   1. watch baby 2. help Kate 3. draw cakes   I got a chuckle out of her cute, little list. I knew she had done everything on it. She always watches the baby and helps Kate. The next three pages were drawings of her beautiful cakes. I was a little jealous of her list. How nice would it be for my list to resemble hers?   I think sometimes as adults we complicate our lives to the extreme. We fill our time with things that need to be done, but often find things that aren't quite so pressing are eating up the remainde...

February Highlights

Image
The time can drag on forever in the winter. Boy, do I feel it! I am not used to having no sun for long periods of time, it is rather depressing. I love the sun! I love the warmth! February is anything but those. It is right in the middle of cold season for Utah. Because of this, we must see all the positive and look for things to keep us happy. Here are a few things that brightened our days in a cold winter month! 1. We sure love getting letters from Elder Merritt! We also will get random texts from people he is eating dinner with. They make the ordinary days brighter. 2. Even though it's cold, we try to make it outside. I love the sunsets! 3. Becca's winter concert. She plays the trumpet just like her sisters, just like my dad! 4. We took some of the kids bowling. Grace and Becca were with their friends, but Kate, Aaron, and Britten went with us. It was Britten's first time that he remembered, and he loved it. We took a selfi...

Behold the Wounds

One of my favorite cds to listen to is, "Day of Rest" by Jericho Road. I highly recommend it. All the songs on it are about the Savior and the peace we will find when we allow Him to be a part of our lives. I just wanted to share this song. It touched my heart today.     Behold the Wounds   David Naylor & John V Pearson     Behold the wounds in Jesus' hands, the marks upon His side. Then ponder who He meant to save when on the cross He died.   We cannot see the love of God which saves us from the fall, yet know that Christ from wood and nails built mansions for us all.   Behold the outstretched hands of Christ, our Lord, who came to save, whose love and grace redeem our souls and lift us from the grave.   Though bruised and battered as we stray His loving hands caress, He washes and anoints with oil then in His arms we rest.   Behold the wounds in Jesus' hands. Look to your Lord a...
