Happy Easter!

We had a great weekend. Mom and Dad came to visit from Sandy Valley, as well as, Jason and Shantel and their family from Arizona. The kids were so happy and had the best time playing with cousins. Family makes the holidays so much fun. It even snowed on Saturday night, which we woke up to an inch or two of "white stuff" on the ground. I feel bad that it was so cold, but it didn't seem to bother the kids. Thanks again for the visit.

Something ridiculous like that. I love the pictures that I have seen of the house and yard. It looks like a fun place to live.; April 18, 2010 at 7:09 PM

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.”
