Last weekend we got together for Jack and Christian's blessing! It was so fun to have everybody together. I'm still waiting to get the entire family photos, (that unfortunately could not be taken on the temple grounds because of protestors!) but until those get back we did get some photos of a fun time we had going out for dinner beforehand. While Christian and Jack slept (most of the time) Caleb and Julian crowd surfed- getting passed from one willing aunt/grandma/grandpa/parent/uncle to another. They also had a blast with Liam, especially Caleb, who I guess didn't get along with him quite as well in July. Fun times!!!
I really liked this one and I just had to share it with you all!!!
"Moral discipline is the consistent exercise of agency to choose the right because it is right, even when it is hard. It rejects the self-absorbed life in favor of developing character worthy of respect and true greatness through Christlike service (see Mark 10:42–45)."
"Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our own family, in our Church callings, and in our livelihood. Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 21
"Do not be discouraged because you cannot learn all at once; learn one thing at a time, learn it well, and treasure it up, then learn another truth and treasure that up, and in a few years you will have a great store of useful knowledge which will not only be a great blessing to yourselves and your children, but to your fellow men" (The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, p. 269).
