A Happy Birthday Celebration....

We spent a nice day together at my parents house celebrating Leslie's 19th birthday (which was yesterday) along with the birthdays of my 2 nieces Anna and Mia. My mom made the most delicious dinner and a wonderful cheesecake for dessert. It was a nice way to spend the day! Thank you mom for all your hard work!!!

"I have reflected repeatedly upon the phrase 'the tender mercies of the Lord.' Through personal study, observation, pondering, and prayer, I believe I have come to better understand that the Lord's tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, the Lord suits 'his mercies according to the conditions of the children of men' (D&C46:15).'

This was our view on our drive to the coast yesterday....

There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

-- Washington Irving (1783-1859) American Writer
