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!!!

AZ Cousins Visit 06.08.10

Another fun day. Peyton said it was the best day yet. After dropping Kami & Kade off at school, we drove to Somis to pick blueberries. Then off to the Thousand Oaks Mall. We picked Kade & Kami up just in time to head to the theater to watch "How to Train Your Dragon," then came home to color strips of each of the kids' hair pink, purple, or blue. We ate dinner, followed by roasting of marshmallows in the backyard, and all are sound asleep at the moment. Aaaaahh.
