I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.

Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.

Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

Child of God

Just wanted to post a little something I hope not to forget about Gavin. Each day as he says his prayers he thanks Heavenly Father for Child of God, says he loves Child of God, and asks Child of God to make us all happy. He's been doing this for months. As you have probably guessed, he is referring to Jesus. Isn't that sweet? Jesus is a child of God, so he's right, but I wonder what it was that triggered him to refer to our Savior in just those words each time?

    Hey Bri, I've been thinking a lot about you and my prayers and thoughts are with you. I had only heard news and updates through Cheri so I was glad to see you posting on your blog again and I could get the update from you. You know the first thing I said when I heard was "What! She is the healthiest person I know!" We miss you and wish we could be close to help but I want you to know that our prayers and thought are with you! -Love, Jacey
