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

Holy WOW!!

It's been a long day for me!! Long and emotional! I got some tough news today and it has really got me to thinking. I am not going to share the news (not my story to tell), but it made me think about the truly important things in life. Death is imminent for all of us. Some sooner than others and depending on your beliefs, you might cease to exist or go onto another life.
My beliefs are what give me a lot of strength. I am grateful for the knowledge that I have of a Plan that goes further than this life. Not only will I still exist, but I can be with my family and with Bret for Eternity.
(sigh) And all my thoughts went back to my day to day life. All the petty stupid things just seemed to melt away. Is it really all that important what people think of me, or who is mad at who? And honestly, why do I get so frustrated about all that stuff?
I need to hold my kids a little tighter and treat my Sweetheart a little kinder (ok, a LOT). I need to remember those that I love and reach out to them continually so they know how special they are to me. Our time in this life is no guarantee. It's time for me to drop the drama and get real (so to speak)!
