In an article in this month's Ensign by Elder Dallin H. Oaks I found the following quote: "I affirm the great truth that our Heavenly Father loves all His children. This is an immensely powerful idea that children can begin to understand through the love and sacrifice of their earthly parents. Love is the most powerful force in the world. I pray that every parent is providing the kind of loving example that encourages the rising generation to understand the love of God toward them and the great desire of our Heavenly Father that all of His children on earth do what is necessary to qualify for the choicest blessings of eternity."
I worked in the yard this morning. A storm is supposed to be moving in so I wasn't sure if I needed to water, but I did anyway. While working I wore by bright green shirt I bought at Walmart for $4.48. I certainly didn't want to get pinched by anyone passing by.
James, Joe and Michael were home by 3pm. James was wearing is Mountain Man outfit which included his coon skin cap and the shirt that I made him. He looked so cool, but boy did he small like a campfire! They all had a great time and I guess the fried chicken was a big hit. Now comes the fun part of unpacking and putting everything away.
Kim, Brian, Joe and Michael left for the cabin this evening. I am a little worred and hope they make it before the storm hits.
James and I had dinner at Black Angus this evening. I had some coupons but I left them at home. We ended up spending about $60 and I felt guilty. It was nice to spend some time together. We really missed each other!
