Lindon Days Rodeo

We signed the kids up for a couple of events in the Lindon Days Rodeo. It was a small town rodeo, so it was perfect for our lack of experience with rodeos. Anna and Xavier participated in sheep riding, and Anna, Xavier, and Isaac all did the chicken race. I have to admit that Anna and Xavier did the best on sheep riding than all the other little kids. They were awesome! We were so proud.

Sorry, I don't have more pictures. I captured the moment on the video camera instead.

Thoughtful Reflection

“No man is an island” (Meditation 17).

“True happiness comes only by making others happy—the practical application of the Savior’s doctrine of losing one’s life to gain it. In short, the Christmas spirit is the Christ spirit, that makes our hearts glow in brotherly love and friendship and prompts us to kind deeds of service.
“It is the spirit of the gospel of Jesus Christ, obedience to which will bring ‘peace on earth,’ because it means—good will toward all men.”3
Giving, not getting, brings to full bloom the Christmas spirit. Enemies are forgiven, friends remembered, and God obeyed. The spirit of Christmas illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world’s busy life and become more interested in people than things. To catch the real meaning of the “spirit of Christmas,” we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the “Spirit of Christ.”
