My little family with Joseph and Hyrum
Emelie and I with Joseph and Hyrum
Bullet holes in the door
I little rainbow to make our day
Some games of stick pull
Some arm wrestling
Purty sunset
Some pics of the pageant
The Beautiful Nauvoo Temple
The moon behind some clouds
I had such a great day. I love to laugh and have fun and joke about so many things. On days like this one it is hard not to feel the spirit of those that lived so long ago and the trials they had to face believing what they did. I can't even imagine how it must have been for them leaving their homes and the Temple to make the trek across the plains, losing loved ones all along the way. I know that the trials I have today are not easier then those of the pioneers, but the great faith the pioneers had gives me just a bit more faith to endure to the end.
The other night I was thinking about my past and the things I want for my future and these words came to me... The sun will rise even if behind the clouds. They give me comfort in the trials that I face, even when I can't see it there is always a reason to smile and be happy.
Love life and enjoy opportunities to learn and grow...
Have you thought about writing an inspirational book? I imagine myself walking on the treadmill at 3.0 miles an hour for 1/2 an hour, reading your book and feeling uplifted for the rest of the day ;)
