It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

Pet Antics

Bandit pulls the brussels sprouts out of my vegetable bag. Notice NO ONE in the family stops him from munching: (They would have if it had been chocolate!)
As Stephan blows the air out of the pool pipes, Bandit tries to bite the bubbling water.
Then Bandit and Penny both just bark at the water. We don't think Penny has a clue what is going on, she's just barking to follow Bandit's lead.
Later, Bandit manages to pilfer an apple. Did we name this dog appropriately?

Service to Others

We had the opportunity to serve someone else by doing a walk, "Miles for Megan": A different Megan but still fighting the same dreaded condition of CANCER.Meghan and Riley, & Brianna and Andrew went with Margie to deliver a Make-A-Wish to a little boy, Chase, who was born without a cerebellum. His wish was to have a therapy room in his house. Andrew did all the heavy lifting, while the girls watched Chase squeal with joy with his new therapy equipment.
Mally, always a fixture in Meghan's life. A best friend who doesn't quit when things get tough. We all need a Mallory in our life!
