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

Simple Women's Daybook

Outside my window...
it is dark. 7pm. I also see the freeway lights in the distance.

I am thinking...
about how much I've enjoyed this week of spring break with my family. Bret is off and we are sleeping in, playing games, riding bikes and working on other crafts around the house.

I am thankful...
for my talents. It's not often that I feel blessed for who I am, but at this moment - I am. :)

I am wearing...
jean shorts, bare feet, and a green comfy tshirt that says, "I used to have a handle on life, but it broke off." :) What can I say - it's comfy.

I am creating...
a flannel blanket for Bret.

I am reading...
I am about to start a book called Mary and Joseph on CD. I need to download it onto my phone so I can listen to it while I work on blankets.

I am hoping...
that I can do the things I need to for my callings. Primary Pres. and YCL leader at Girls Camp. Both are tough and I feel overwhelmed at times.

I am hearing...
the kids having a rematch with Daddy on Halo.

One of my favorite things...
my new quilting frame that Bret made for me. I LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it!!!!

A few plans for the rest of the week...
Finish Bret's blanket; start on the boy's blankets; Girls Camp things; Pinewood Derby; PTA stuff; and start making plans for a new thing we are doing with PTA.

A picture thought I am sharing...
This is one of my alltime favorites. I've been feeling a little melancholy about my little ones getting big. Sometimes I really miss the old days. :(
