My BOYS!!

How grateful I am to have 3 wonderful boys!

It's hard for me to believe that my little boys have already grown into handsome Young Men!

In church today we had a lesson on how we can teach our children to "Stand for Truth and Righteousness"! The whole purpose of our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I feel, is to prepare Heavenly Father's children to return to their Heavenly Home! As we realize this, the importance of family life becomes so obvious. What an awesome responsibility for parents? I have a GREAT family -- but we have all kinds of room for improvement. I am going to try a little harder to have a happy, safe, stable, loving home my family wants to come home to (as I'm sitting here ALL alone tonight) -- I don't think it's because no one wants to be here -- but even so -- I am going to try a little harder! "Children are the promise of the future. They are the future itself." (I think President Hinckley said this.) President Harold B. Lee once said, "Teach your little children while they are at your knee and they will grow up to be stalwart. They may stray away, but your love and your faith will bring them back." It's a tad bit late to be teaching my "little" children but hope that my "big" children have listened to what they have been taught and will continue to be taught so that we will be a Forever Family! I am so very grateful for my family -- and pray that through Heavenly Father's plan, we will be TOGETHER FOREVER!!
