Words From A Prophet

What a fun weekend we've had..especially listening to conference. I always love to hear from President Monson (he has always had a special place in my heart). Mackenzie and Ian invited Brad and I along with Zac and his family to listen to the last session of conference on Sunday. Of course, Kenzie had prepared a feast...wow she is a fabulous cook! How did that happen..she didn't inherit that gene from me. But how fun it was to be gathered together as a famly to listen to tiny giggeling voices and to hear council from our dear prophet and apostles.
As the opening prayer was being said, the thought entered my mind that over 13 million people were praying and hearing the opening prayer at the same time...wow...now that is one powerful prayer for the Lord to stand up and pay attention to. Not that he doesn't hear our single prayers from the smallest to the tallest of prayers. HOW POWERFUL!

I loved spending time with my family and enjoying the moments of quiet joy...Mackenzie, Sadie and Olivia were scrapbooking..Zac had Sam in his arms sound asleep, resting. Jackson dressed up as his favorite super hero Batman and Tiffany and Ian listening intensely to the council given. Grandpa Brad nodding off and on.

I also felt for a fleeting moment how our heavenly father must feel, when his children are obedient. The love and joy he must feel. A feeling of love overwhelmed me, as I watched my small family living and loving life together. The message of President Monson saying that we should "Find Joy in the Journey", made me realize that life is precious and each moment we should treasure.

So my friends, take heed to what the Prophet said and start today to find joy in your journey of life.

It's a Sew Day! Yea!!

Well today I had the opportunity to hang out with my quilting buddies! Yippee Skippee....Sewing a quilt is so much fun...and hanging out with Jana and Hollie is the bestever!
Jana is the "queen of blogging" and she shared a few tips on how to make our blogs look more interesting....Thanks Jana banana! mine wasn't looking too sexy..but now it's dressed up a little better and especially thanks to Hollie to making a small feast for us....Yummmm! Home made clam chowder..she's the best cook ever..I am blessed to have such great friends that love to do the same things I enjoy!

My nephew Niel and his wife Christiana are having a baby girl and so I made their baby of course "a baby quilt".

I have in my sewing room a saying that Mackenzie gave to me that says "when life gives you scraps, make a quilt".. I've made alot of quilts so my life must be really scrappy...it's really not, I am just an obcessive quilter.

We also put our house up for sale yesterday. I'm holding my breath..on this one...we want to sell our home and build on the piece of ground we have here in Cedar Pass Ranch..we are not going far...we had a showing today and I have been going crazy..now I know how my clients feel when their homes get shown...I can't even imagine showings day after day after day....

So we wait..for the right person to buy it! I'm confident that things will be OK!
