Just What Is Love? FHE Idea
Valentines day is coming and I am sure we have heard its the holiday of Love. One thing I often wonder is just what is love? So I began to do some research on Love and found that Love by definition is to have an intense feeling of deep affection. This definition is based on feeling, but love as God designed it is a decision, it is an action word. It is not an emotion or feeling that you decide to embrace or push away but love is the foundation of our lives as Christians and the basis of our relationships through Christ Jesus.
Mormons Are Not Perfect
Many times I have heard things like ‘Those Mormons think they are better then us because they do this or that’ or ‘She sure does think she is perfect’ , things like this totally drive me crazy. I 
will be the first to admit that I am not perfect heck I am far from it. I sin and make mistakes. I am Not a perfect mother, wife, daughter of God, or Mormon. I will never claim to be one of these things. I know and can see my faults. Not a day goes by I am not having to repent for one thing or another.
Lifting Burdens: The Atonement of Jesus Christ
Many times in life we get burdened with many things if its an health illness, a mental health illness, home life, work, or school. We often begin to turn from our Heavenly Father thinking that right now he isn’t watching us or loves us. This thought process is so far from the truth. Heavenly Father Loves us no matter what and he is always there for us. Sometimes we are given trials to help us grow spiritually and become closer to Him.
Becoming a Celestial Partner
Often times I sit and wonder am I being a Celestial wife? Am I doing all the things I should be doing for my husband or with my husband? I feel as if I am, I feel like we have a great marriage and awesome communication, at the same time there are times when it feels like something is totally missing from out lives. So I am going to take this step to get Becoming a Celestial Partner: 5 CDs + Workbook as a part of my New Years Resolution for 2012 so I can truly learn to be the wife and help mate my husband deserves.
Love ~ The Greatest Gift
Last night at dinner we were talking about what we wanted for Christmas, seems to be a big topic these days around the table probably for most families. Brendan chimed in with ‘Well the best gift you can’t wrap’ I asked what is that. He gave? a wink and said ‘Love’ Becky chimed in ‘Its the best gift, but you can’t see it, touch it, taste it, smell it just feel it inside.’ I didn’t want to counter dict her but I did want to share with her that there is ways to use all your senses to experience Love. So I started to explaine
Gaining A Testimony
Today was an amazing day. It started like any other Saturday filled with the normal baking of treats and goodies for the week ahead and a few extras for the Christmas program this evening. The Missionaries were due to come at 1:30 to start talking to my younger two children to prep them for Baptism. Since Brendan is 9, he will have to go through the discussions before he can be baptized into the church. We want them to share this big day together and to make sure Rebecca is making this decision on her own and informed so she is also going to be attending these discussions as well.
The Coat ~ A Story Of Charity
This is one of the most amazing videos of true open honest charity that I have seen. Many times in our lives we would simply walk by never giving a second look or offering a smile. This young man opened his heart to share. Makes me want to open my heart and share with others.
Note this does have a small scripture at the end, nothing else religious.

For the Love of Me
Over the past several years I have been struggling with this. Off and on I have also been struggling with why would Heavenly Father love me? All I am is a ‘mom’. I don’t do much of anything I take care of the home and the kids. I felt as if that is all that I was here for. During these time I would pray and hit the scriptures. I also knew that the main reason was dealing with a high needs child taking his anger out on me. That is probably one of the hardest things a mother has to do. That’s keep self love while being told what a terrible person you are. Which often leads to depression, at least with me it does.
