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

Wild Goose Chase with a Dog-Chewed Can, Crystals, and a White Box on a Fence

That was kindof a long Title. Sorry! But I was remembering something else we did with our company this past week. I actually had a dream about it last night.

Last week we went on a GeoCache behind our house. We hiked and hiked and hiked without any luck. But we DID find a watering can toy that had been chewed by a dog, some really awesome "crystals," and Paige even found a gold ball that somehow found it's way home. Even though she had been told not to bring it home. :)

As we walked along a barwired fence (because we had been told that the geocache might be on a post), the kids saw a white spot in the distance. We all got very excited thinking that we had found it. The kids ran ahead of us and suddenly we see the "white spot" fly into the air. :) It was funny to watch the kids from where we were. They all slapped their legs with a big, "Awwww Man!!! It was just a bird!!" I laughed and laughed.

In the end, we didn't find it and will forever remember the fun we had trying to get there. I still have the dents in my back from taking the cactus picture!! wink wink

Paige told us today, while fishing, that Lane and dad catch fish and she catches treasures. Sure enough she came home with something else from the lake that mom and dad said had to stay at the lake. I'm starting to see a pattern and I'll probably start having to do a strip search before we go home.
