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!!!

Kaden's 7th Birthday!!!!!!!

We had a lot of fun today celebrating Kade's 7th birthday. Because it's an odd-numbered birthday, we didn't have a big birthday party, but he brought along his friend, Trevor, to Chuck E. Cheese for a night of fun games.

I let the kids choose their menus on their birthdays and this is what Kade chose:
Breakfast = apple pie and egg souffle
Lunch = lunchable
Dinner: Chuck E. Cheese pizza
Dessert: chocolate cupcakes

easy peasy.

We had lots of fun. Thanks to all of you who gave gifts and phone calls. It meant a lot to Kade.
