a day at the beach

We went to Zuma Beach today with the kids... very fun, kinda cold. Cassidy and Paul just danced and played in the water, so much fun! Tom was unsure about the sand at first (see photo), but after a few minutes with the sand toys, he was a happy mess (see photo). The kids and i loaded up steve's back with rocks and shells -- tommy really helped out a lot on this, thought it was so funny.
Much as I'd like to say "wish you were here", I find myself saying "I WISH I WERE THERE!!!"
miss you all...

"Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. Charity comes when we are kind to each other; when we don't judge someone else; when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or REMAIN QUIET. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses and shortcomings, having patience with someone who has let us down or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is expecting the best of each other"
(Elder Marvin J. Ashton, Conference April 1992).

"Charity is not an emotion or action. It is not something we feel or do. Charity is who the Savior is. It is his most defining characteristic. When we plead for charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or has wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed; for our character and disposition to become more like the Savior's so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do."
