Our Family: April 2011

"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

words of kaylin....

Kaylin is such a funny kid, we laugh so much because of the things he comes up with and that come out of his mouth. Here is one from the other day: I let him go with his friends family to the park to play and told him as soon as they got back that he was to come straight home and not stay at his friends house and play, he said ok. This is what happened.....

ME: kaylin what did i tell you when you left to go to the park...do you remember?

KAYLIN: um yes to come home right when i got back and not stay and play.

ME: so how come you were outside playing with them still after you got back?

KAYLIN: i didn't remember what you said because my brain "x"ed it out of my head.

ME: "LAUGHING" i said your brain WHAT?????

KAYLIN: it just "x"ed out what you told me to do so then i didn't even remember.

It was so funny that i just had to laugh, he is so brilliant with things to say to get out of trouble!!!!
I LOVE YOU KAYLIN DUDE, thanks for always making us stop and laugh.

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
