Counting My Blessings- Faith

  “Faith is not so much something we believe, Faith is something we live.” - Joseph B Wirthlin 🌱🌿🌳 I’m not quiet about my Faith. It is truly a part of who I am. It always has been. It has been something I have continually worked on all my life. When I was young and lived Missouri, I was the only member of my Faith. My family was the only members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the whole school. There were a couple of friends who were members of the RLDS (now known as The Community of Christ). I felt a connection with them because at least our religions stemmed from the same founding. Yet, it still was different. I knew this after having conversations with them. And, even though I was the only member of my Faith, I still had great friends who practiced other religions, or none at all. I remember having sleepovers at friends’ homes on Saturday nights, and then waking up on Sunday and going to church with them. I’m so grateful my parents were so open and willi...

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...

Terrible Mom Award: Newest Recipient

I woke up late today. I was tired because we currently have a baby who likes to sleep in our bed. He doesn't sleep vertical, mind you. No. He sleeps horizontal. We have a king size bed, but our 8 month old takes the majority of the space. Dustin and I are left with the two outside slivers, just enough so you don't fall out of the bed. I'm not happy about it! This morning was also a bad day for listening kids. In our home, they were absent. I had to ask my youngest girls several times to get ready, eat breakfast, get your teeth brushed and your shoes on. Several times! I finally told them I was leaving and walked out the door. Who was I taking to school then? They quickly ran out, still getting ready, but hurrying  so I wouldn't leave them. Is it any wonder why I finally lost it in the car? Who was the lucky child? Rebecca. Of all of my kids she has the most personality and is drama galore. I wasn't in the mood for it this morning. She keeps acting like a din...
