Birthdays & Baptisms

I had so many wonderful birthday celebrations (even though I didn't have my camera for all of them)...many thanks

Abby's baptism was a delightful day. What a fun winter trip to Utah. I got to see Larry (it was 9 degrees when I left Ephraim!),several school chums, work with Chelsea on wedding invites and even a quick drive-by from Tobey and the girls..
Happy days!

"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."
