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

Happy Birthday Elijah!!!

Well, today is Elijah's Birthday - 9 years old! This morning when I woke up Elijah and Livvy were downstairs playing XBox together. And I heard them talking and it just touched my heart - classic tender Elijah. Livvy said, "I think I broke up with my boyfriend, Andrew." (I'm not sure about this comment, don't ask) Elijah very sweetly said to her, "Don't worry Piv's. When you get big you'll find someone who will really love you and you'll be happy." :)
It made me think about the little person that my Birthday Boy is! He is the sweetest kid that you'll ever meet. He is AMAZING with little kids (3 & 4 year olds). Everyone will tell you how he talks to them so kindly and explains everything to them. He doesn't get embarrased to kiss Mom or Dad in public. And he has the sweetest thoughts. Sometimes it takes a little bit of understanding to figure out what he means, but it's always sweet and kind. His prayers are wonderful honest talks with Heavenly Father. He is one amazing kid.
Anyway, here is my tribute to his life!

Happy Birthday Elijah! He is a sweet kid. I walked in on him having a sweet conversation with my 4 year old a while back. It touched my heart! Almost like a big brother talking to his younger brother with very good advice.
