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!!!

Thanksgiving

We made the drive to AZ where we had a great two days with Eric's family in Prescott and another two game-filled days with my family in Gilbert, but only a few pictures to show for it. Thanks, Tiff, for contributing to my picture collection. Christmas will be better (maybe).
Joan slaved away to make us a delicioius meal, as did my parents just two days later. Yum yum yum. I love my yam yam yams.
