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!!!

Kade looks so handsome!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome 8 year old boy, Congrats and this great step in his life. The invite is so cute too.
ReplyDeleteWe got the invitation in the mail the other day and I couldn't believe how good looking he has become. The kids saw the picture and said, "he's a lot bigger than I remember him." I just laughed and explained that they were the same age as him and that as they grew so did he. It was pretty funny. Please give him a big hug and tell him that we love him.
