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

Have a Good Day!

Lysol

Have any of you seen the commercial for the "New Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System"? It has been puzzling me ever sense I saw it last night. There pitch line to sell this product is, "never touch a germy soap pump again." Besides the fact that I think our society is way to much of a germaphobic any ways there was just one thing I couldn't figure out. It keeps going through my head. After you touch that, so called, germy soap pump don't you immediately put soap on your hands, scrub them and rinse them clean? Soap that is suppose to wash all those germs off?

Kid Say...another one

This morning I was telling Lizzy about some silly movie we are going to watch tonight. I had told her about it earlier in the week. When I reminded her that we were going to watch it to night she said, "Maybe that is why I am excited. I just wake up every morning feeling excited about something and I don't know what." No wonder the kid can't sleep in. She is always excited. I need to take a page out of her book. I just thought that was the most awesome attitude to have.

Kids Say......

The other day the girls were cleaning up from doing some painting and I was listening to them from the other room. ShiAnne was trying to hurry and said, "I need to go my hiney in gear." The Lizzy in her sweetest little girl voice while giggling say, "I love it when you say hiney."

The girls like all kids there age like to make cards and note but often don't know how to spell what they want to say. So of course, they will ask me how to spell it and then I will tell them letter by letter how to spell it. When they are finished writing down one letter they will ask, "what's next?" and I will tell them the next letter. Gideon also likes to play this game. Being two he doesn't know how to write any of his letter but he will get a piece of paper and a pencil and ask me, "what's next?" I will tell him a letter and he will draw a circle or a scribble and then ask me, "mom what's next?" I have decided this may be great way to teach him to spell his name. So when we play this game I always spell out his name for him. I don't know if it is working but at least he feels like he is every bit as big as the girls.
