We love you Matt…“If only we could look beyond the horizon of mortality into what awaits us beyond this life. Is it possible to imagine a more glorious future than the one prepared for us by our Heavenly Father? Because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we need not fear, for we will live forever, never to taste of death again.”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
If you cannot remember believing in God or if you have ceased to believe or if you believe but without real conviction, I invite you to seek a testimony of God now. Do not be afraid of ridicule. The strength and peace that come from knowing God and having the comforting companionship of His Spirit will make your efforts eternally worthwhile.”
– Elder Robert D. Hales
right this minute:
Ultra brave restaurant taste testers…
deep thinking reading buddies…
sweet, gentle pumpkin curls…
the magical ability to recover an ice cube before mama catches you…
and three little monkeys—NOT jumping on the bed.
Life is lovely…indeed.
The ideal God holds for us is to form families in the way most likely to lead to happiness and away from sorrow.”
-Henry B. Eyring
Even though our gorgeous mountains are a bit slow to completely change into their autumn colors, still, there is plenty of evidence that Autumn is weaving all around us.
There are the blue skies that turn into sudden hail storms…
and the crab apples to pick.
Warm “Big Hunk” hats turning up in the shop…
and juice to make.
Ominous thunder clouds rolling in…
and jam to set.
Cozy reading buddies…
and caramel popcorn to gobble up.
Family reading club books to hide away with…
and a million bottles to store.
Crabby-grape jelly to taste test…
and sweet folks to snuggle with.
So you see, late leaves or not…
we still have tons of hope.
