Sunday's Food for Thought




"When Jesus gave His disciples a new commandment to 'love one another; as I have loved you,' (John 13:34), He gave to them the grand key to happiness in this life and glory in the next. "Love is the greatest of all the commandments--all others hang upon it. It is our focus as followers of the living Christ. It is the one trait that, if developed, will most improve our lives."



Joseph B. Wirthlin

I can't believe....

I let the whole month of June go by and not a post. It has been a busy summer so far. We have been doing summer movies and swimming. That is usually the gist of our summer fun because I always use up my dh's vacation time with my calling in young women's. I've already been to youth conference and will be going to girls camp in 2 weeks. But times are a changin'! This will be my last year going to girls camp. I have a new calling.........RS 2nd counselor/enrichment counselor. Tonight was YW's and I really missed being there. I have been in for 8 yrs. That's 8 yrs. of going to weekly activities. 8 yrs. of youth conferences and girl's camps. This has been a hard transition, but I know Heavenly Father will help me adjust. I am definitely in new territory!!!


We are going to lagoon as a family through my dh's work and that will probably be the last big thing we do for awhile. I will try to get pictures and post them on my family blog. We had a blast last year so I am hoping for some fun.

Also, last week my dh and I were able to go on a 2 day retreat for our 22nd anniversary. It was wonderful! We went to a little, very charming bed and breakfast in the middle of SLC. We were the only ones there so it was a nice and quiet time. Amid a house full of kids, 4 of them grown ups, it's nice to have some quiet, peaceful moments.
