The best things in life aren't things

I am the luckiest girl in the world! Yes, I have my trials just like every other person, but when I decide to focus on the blessings instead of the trials I can't help but be happy. I am so very overwhelmed with blessings.

One of my blessings include one of my best friend's Janneke. She just happens to be an amazing photographer and came into town for Thanksgiving. We were able to schedule some time for fun and were also able to squeeze in some family pictures too. Didn't she do a great job! It was my parents 45 anniversary this day as well. It was fun to celebrate their great marriage with some family pictures. They are such great examples to me and we are so blessed to have them so close! Watching them be grandparents has been one of my favorite things. P & Em sure love them and ask to go to their house every day.

Anyway, just wanted to share our new pictures with you and say that the saying is so true,

The best things in life aren't things.

The Light of the World

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...
