We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).
-Elder David A. BednarOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Blessings




Cousins: Shiloh went camping with the scouts again this weekend. This time we had some cousins over for a sleepover. All three of my kids had a great time. I am so thankful for the relationship you have with cousins and the relationship I have had with my cousins my whole life I still love to get together with them.

My Kids: ShiAnne who is going through a little attitude phase right now but is still so good. Lizzy who surprisingly enough has become my peace maker the last few weeks and been better then normal and Gideon who just got big in the last two weeks. Sometime they just get big over night. I was noticing that he did this and then everyone started commenting on it. He sure is a lot of fun and has the cutest giggle.

Mondays Off: After Shiloh having to go camping all weekend, it sure is nice that he had today off so we can still have some fun together.
