Happy Sunday...

Today I was in charge of Sharing time (teaching a group of children from ages 3 to 11) at church...
I love being around all of children..
they can bring a sweet spirit to my Sunday...

I sure when the Savior comes again he will go to primary (children's church) first...

My topic today was on the blessings of the Resurrection...
We talked about how Christs disciples were sad when he died...
we talked of those who have come before us who have died, and how we are sad too...

We talked of how sad Mary must have felt when she went to  the tomb to find it empty...
Then how Mary felt when moments later she recognized the Saviors voice calling her by name...

The blessing of the Resurrection is that we ALL will live again...
I will one day see my sweet friend that left this world far to soon...
I will visit with my Grandma O who I still miss everyday...
But most of all I will meet the Father-in-law I have never met...
the man whose influence is still felt today...

Sunday is the day that continues to renew my spirit...
get me ready for the next week...
and helps me remember that I can always be better than I am today...

What a blessing it is to celebrate the Easter season again, to renew, to be better.

Sure helps me deal with the toilet that leaked all night flooding the bathroom, hall, and managed to seep through the ceiling to the living room downstairs..
Good times...

Happy Sunday!

Courage...

Changes are happening around the house...
Some wanted...
Others not...

Many require stepping into the unknown...

One that has been nagging at me for quiet a while...

One that  brings me "present"...

to my children...
to my husband...
to myself...

A step off a cliff...

I will not be teaching next year...

I'm going to be MOM, WIFE, and ME...

How grateful I am to have a loving Heavenly Father who prods me, and at times forces me to look at the big picture.  He has and will continue to guide me, I just need to listen...
