{ Secret Formula }
“May I share with you a formula that in my judgment will help you and help me to journey well through mortality… First, fill your mind with truth; second, fill your life with service; and third, fill your heart with love.”
― Thomas S. Monson
{ His Hands }
{ I Will Rise- African Style }
” He lives, the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind, whose Atonement came as an act of grace for the entire world. He has done for us what we could not do for ourselves. He has brought meaning to our mortal existence. He has given us the gift of eternal life. God be thanked for the gift of His Son, the Redeemer of the world, the Savior of mankind, the Prince of Life and Peace, the Holy One.”
~Gordon B. Hinckley
Happy Easter my friends.
April Conference 2012
This weekend we gathered everyone together to listen to the LDS General Conference. Now that our family is growing–by leaps and bounds it seems–there’s quite a lot of …ummm… character to the group.
Ahem...thanks, Jillian.
We listen to inspirational messages from church leaders and listen to beautiful music.
Even the little kids will watch and draw pictures in their new notebooks for awhile.
Some of us take notes and some of us just relax and absorb it all.
Of course, I have to crochet or the Earth would flip off it’s axis. But I do set my hook aside long enough to jot down a quote or two. That’s a fine balance–wouldn’t you say?
Then, once the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings we all jump up for breakfast–
made every Conference Sunday by our own Nate–of course. Strawberry, peach and mango crepes with cream cheese.
All three for me please.
Dang. Fine. Food.
Dang. Fine. Family.
And a spiritual feast.
So much to be grateful for.
