What You Might See On the Road?

I loved this clever license plate- 1 Ne 3 7 which clearly means ! Nephi 3:7, a very powerful and popular verse of scripture in the Book of Mormon---one of my favorites'----

"And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall  prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."

I wish that I had thought of that---a symbol of their testimony everywhere they drive.  Love this.
 

Clouds--

Sometimes you just need to look at some cloud pictures and remember how amazing they can be in the sky--their changing shapes, their reflecting colors, all of it.

Go outside today and check the skies!!!

 

Halloween Bingo

...in November. I had to do a Halloween Bingo Game for Jena's dance class, so I kept it to play with Jessica/Elessia's kids on Halloween.  However, that night was too busy.  I kept it and brought it when I watched the kids on Saturday night.  They loved it and the simple dollar store toys I had for prizes.  They want to do it again for Christmas which might happen. :)

Two of the kids picked puzzles so we spent some time putting those together --a couple of times that evening. 

Ezri picked a painting project and of course, wanted to do it as soon as Bingo was done.

 Carter was proud when she did hers all by herself.  The first time, she had a few extra helpers (which she really didn't need.) She was patient with them, but immediately after they were done, she quietly took it apart and then put it back together by herself.

Fun times!


 

Night TIme Session at the Layton Temple

There is something unique about seeing a temple lit up in the night. 

I have loved learning and pondering more about the temple and the work that we do there.  In addition to all of the spiritual and doctrinal reasons for the temple, I have been struck lately by how it gives purpose to many people as they get older and move into their "retirement" years--both the opportunity to serve as temple workers but also just to be able to serve there. You are able to help people even though you can't stand up long enough to can beans at the cannery or hoe weeds at the local welfare farm.  You can still have service opportunities and the uplift that they give in your life in the temple every and any day you can be there.  What a blessing---for that time I get old!
