Wordless Wednesday....Already Again!!

Wordless Wednesday

Faith

This week has been a really taxing week.

I am reminded constantly of the incredible blessing it is to have the power of prayer in our lives and the knowledge that each one of us is loved by our Heavenly Father and He knows us and is keenly aware of our needs. All we need to do is ask and He will surround us with His love and blessings so that we can face any challange and have the strength to get through it.

 

Flashback Friday

Today is Friday!
That means the end of another week!
That means Flashback Friday!
That means I start to reflect on life in general and where we've been and how we've come and where we are going.  This picture is the Sunday morning after Quentin turned 12 and he was being ordained to the Priesthood.  Can you believe how much he has grown in almost 3 years? I am so proud of him!  He is an amazing person whom I really look up to. Not only has he grown physically, but spiritually too. He inspires me to do better!  He really hates it when I 'dote' on him...so probably enough said.
Life seems to go by way too fast lately.  Thank goodness for Flashback Friday so I can stop the madness and remember the good times...if only for a minute!

Wordless Wednesday

Thanks to my NIL (that's Niece-In-Law) Jena for cluing (sp?) me into Wordless Wednesday!!

Wow! It’s barely the middle of October and we are already under a blanket of snow! I’m not sure I’m ready yet…..but I guess I don’t have a choice. It will be Christmas before we know it!


Today is kind of a Melancholy day, as it would have been my Dad’s 89th birthday. He passed away 12 years ago in July.

If he were here today, I would have baked him some cookies for his birthday. He liked my molasses cookies the best! I would have bought him some funny…ornery…card that he would laugh at. We would have joked on the phone about how grumpy he was becoming in his old age and how all the candles on his cake were going to start a rip-roarin' fire! He loved to be grumpy and ornery….even if it was only a tease! Happy birthday Dad! I love you!
(I tried to download some ‘remember when’ pictures of my Dad to share but I couldn’t get my slow computer to work, so….they will have to come later.)

Autumn seemed to pass us up pretty fast this year.

I think the colors are gone......but not forgotten.
