Forgiveness

Please take a few minutes and watch the video below from LDS.ORG "Forgiveness" you can link to it by clicking on the word FORGIVENESS.

There is something that we can all learn from this man and his ability to follow our Savior and forgive even in his darkest moments. Sometimes things happen to us that we will not know the reason for a very long time but we must always remember that our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us.

Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes God lets the storm rage and calms His child.

"True love requires action. We can speak of love all day long, we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it but until we manifest that love in action, our words are nothing but sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."

--Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I want to belike this....

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
- Marjorie Pay Hinckley

What an amazing woman!

We can't get enough.....

This April Johns has the opportunity to go to Jacksonville for 2 weeks for training. We cannot pass up the opportunity of a free plane ticket and a vacation to Disney World. So, on April 30th, I will be flying out to meet up with Johns and then we will drive down to Orlando for a week. We are excited to go! We will also be there for 4 days with his parents, 2 sisters and 2 bils and our niece so that will be a lot of fun.

The 2 weeks that he will be gone are going to be TERRIBLE!!!!! We have not been apart for more than 3 days since we got married, sappy I know but I am going to miss him!

While we are there Epcot is going to have the International Flower & Garden Festival which looks to be amazing! Johns is going to go crazy with taking pictures, which of course I will post as soon as we get back!
