I do it every night...

Something Colby said to me last night really touch my heart. I was filling the tub so he and Grey could take a bath. He went to the drawer were I keep their jammies, took them out and laid them on the bed. Then he went over to the drawer where I keep the Pull-ups, got them out, and laid them on the bed also. I told him that was so nice. He said, "I do that every night so Mom and Dad don't have to." When he takes off his clothes he always puts them in the hamper. What a sweet boy.

And then there is this amazing boy. He is handling having a cast on his arm so well. I have not heard him complain once. He asked me if I was coming to his Kindergarten graduation. Of course I will! How is he so big?!

I miss my Dad...

Wordless Wednesday ~ The red cast...

A true cowboy...

I've learned that "...cowboys stick together and never leave anybody behind. They always look out for their horses, their cows and most importantly they look out for each other."

My brother Lloyd... he really is a true cowboy. He helped brand calves at his daughter and son-in-law's ranch in Nebraska last weekend. He's always the first one to lend a hand. He looks tough, but he has a big heart. I love him.

The Lord's way...

We are not perfect.

The people around us are not perfect. People do things that annoy, disappoint, and anger. In this mortal life it will always be that way.

Nevertheless, we must let go of our grievances. Part of the purpose of mortality is to learn how to let go of such things. That is the Lord’s way.

Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive.

At this very moment...

God will take you as you are at this very moment and begin to work with you. All you need is a willing heart, a desire to believe, and trust in the Lord."
