Thankful Season Day #29

Yesterday, we had a 'NORMAL' day. Mr. Clark worked a 10 hour day.  What was great was---

sh-sh-sh (this is a selfish comment) I had 2 1/2 hours yesterday of 'me' time.  Mr. Clark is so LOVED but this was a good feeling. I put on Christmas Music and sighed and HUGE s-i-g-h...

A little 'normal' feeling. We both cling to this routine. We appreciate being able to WORK. We have seen things change in an instant. FOR A LIL' NORMAL WE ARE THANKFUL!!!!!!!!!! 

Tearful Story

Remember I shared that our communtiy where we lived for 25 yrs was mourning a loss. Check out her four girls surprise HERE: Get a box of Kleenex's!

Thankful Season Day #27

Mr. Clark and I were talking about never taking for granted our Thanksgiving Traditions of being with Family again.

We missed yet another year of Tradition.
We are so THANKFUL
for those TRADITIONS of the past.
Cherished Memories
In our hearts,

TRADITION IS SO IMPORTANT!
THANKSGIVING IS ABOUT THE LOVE OF FAMILY and CELEBRATING our RICH ABUNDANCE OF BLESSINGS.

For ALL our families and extended families

YOU ARE LOVED!

For BLESSINGS SOMETIMES  UNRECOGNIZED

WE WILL LIVE IN THANKSGIVING DAILY HERE:

ENJOY with MUCH LOVE!

Thankful Season Day #26

100 %  for the Savior

In one of our church leadership training meetings we received a tab "100%" to connect to our key chain.

So my first reaction was. I LOVE IT!

Then I started thinking am I  "100%"


Am I 100%  in my prayers?

Am I 100% Keeping the Commandments?

Am I 100 % Tithe Payer?

Am I 100% in the Service of Others?

Am I 100% reading the Scriptures?

Am I 100% a disciple of Christ?

Most of my percentages did not equal 100%. Yes, I was beating myself up pretty good.

My conversation with Mr. Clark was, "I am coming up short"

His comment to me was, "that is where Grace and the Atonement comes in"

He makes up the difference.

Oh, I knew this, just needed reminding, and yes it is comforting.

 But I believe I can't just do what I want and Christ will cover my back in all things.

I need to  do my best.

If not, to me that sounds like a spoiled child that is enabled to continue bad behavior knowing  someone will always cover for him.

It teaches a child to be selfish, to learn to takes things for granted.

 Children that love their parents strive to be like them.  

I love the 13th Article of Faith

a principle of the  "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" 

It helps me make a huge effort to strive to be like Christ.

   

We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul -- We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to endure all things. It there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

To see all 13 principles that show what I believe in go HERE:

I can try, continually TRY and make my best EFFORT

 to shoot for 100% for the Savior

this is when I can be content to let him make up the difference.

 I'm THANKFUL for the Grace and Atonement he offers me personally. 

Thankful Season Day #25

Humbly Thankful

for the

GIFT OF LIFE

Reflections on the past 3-4 years take us in a direction that make us realize that we are taking each day as a GIFT.

In a time when technology is so advanced when is comes to keeping a human alive.

We know and are appreciative of the fact that life could not continue with out this advanced technology.
