Thought

The way that you live your life is the most powerful teaching tool that you have.

I've been thinking about this. I wonder sometimes if I am living my life in such a way that if I were gone, the memory would be something substantial enough to remember what this life is really all about.

Something to think about.

Maybe I will make a few changes.

BRONCO

After much deliberation, numerous voting sessions, and internet surfing for dog names, the dog has been named Bronco. Upon deciding, the mom ( who has had enough of this indecision and constant fighting over the dog's name) practically tossed everyone in the car and sped to PetSmart to seal the name with an engraved dog tag. Ahhh! It's done. Now, we only have 1 week until the pup arrives!

woohoo!

We're thinking about getting a dog! What kind you ask? A mini pincher! We are so excited! We can't wait! If only Christmas would come faster! Do you have any tips on potty training? We're wanting to name it Speedy(after Joseph B. Wirthlen) or Chaos. Does any body have any better ideas?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Tip for the day: by Kobe

When gathering eggs, do not deposit them in your pocket and then close the chicken coop door with your hip.

I love that song.....


The Family is of God......
We are learning this song in Primary. It has become my favorite. It speaks to me, ya know? I love the tune. I love how it rhymes. and I love the message! It's like a testimony.

Here are the words.....

Our Father has a family. It's me! It's you, all others too: we are His children. He sent each one of us to earth, through birth, to live and learn in families.

(chorus)
God gave us families to help us become what he wants us to be---This is how he shares HIS love, for the family is of God.

A father's place is to preside, provide, to love and teach the gospel to his children. A father leads in family prayer, to share, their love for Father in Heaven.

(chorus)

A mother's purpose is to care, prepare, to nurture and to strengthen all her children. She teaches children to obey, to pray, to love and serve in the family.

(chorus)

I'll love and serve my family, and be, a good example to each family member. And when I am a mom or dad, so glad, I'll help my family remember.

(chorus)
God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be-- This is how He shares His love, for the Family is of God.

I love the part that says...This is how He shares His love...

I am so grateful for my family that I was born into, and me own little family. I love them so much. I can't fathom how lonely it would be to be sent here to make it on our own. It truly is an act of Love from our Father in Heaven. He gave us a built in support system.
p.s. to my family...I love you!!!!
