Happiness

How often do you think about how being happy is a choice?

Today is a great day! And I think it is because I decided when I woke up that I was going to make it one.

And guess what, I feel so good!

Despite the fact that:

my house is ridiculously messy, cluttered, & dirty

I have not showered today

Em is cutting 2 teeth

P is full fledged into the terrible/terrific twos

My husband is still getting home really late

I am still not getting a full nights sleep

And a million other things.

But really, I am so happy because I want to be.

I need to do this more often!

Life is so good!!!

Good work! Yes, it's totally a choice. And you're better than me because tonight when Danny came home I decided to be Ms. Grumpy because today just ended up being a disappointment in many ways. However, I need to remember that talking to you MADE ME HAPPY! So.. I will try to turn my frown upside down and be happy like you are in spite of all the things going "wrong"

Love ya!

Way to be! Good reminder that it is all about attitude. Although, it's nice when life makes it a bit easier to have a positive attitude. :) Way to be positive despite all the negatives going on!

How are the terrible/terrific two's going? Emi has just started throwing pretty good sized tantrums....Ah, parenting. Gotta love it.

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
