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!!!

Kami

Kami is so funny. This year isn't a birthday party year, but she was telling me when I put her to bed last night how she'll sleep in on Friday so that we can all wake her up and surprise her with balloons. She went on to explain how great it would be if there were signs up, too, that said, "Happy Birthday, Kami!" And today she wrote out her birthday menu of what she wants to eat at each meal (our family tradition). The girls knows what she wants. Makes my life easy most the time, so I suppose I shouldn't laugh too much.
