Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

For My Mom

This song makes me think of you. I have it below on my music if you wanna listen to it.

In My Daughter's Eyes

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

I know that it's a mom singing about her daughter, but as it reminds me of my own daughters, I better understand you! :)
Yes, I am grown and raising a family; and you really are here - in my eyes & MY HEART!
I love you!

Reading and listening to the song makes me cry--what a wonderful blessing to be so loved by such a sweet, special person--the one person who sees the best in others and forgives for the short coming.
Thank you for the treasures you give me daily.
Enjoy my g'daughters for they are your personal bit of heaven like I have w/ my two sweet girls. They are both perfect and my favorite!!!
