It feels so good

Turning this pile of wood scraps 

into this awesome decor that helps to make my house a home.

 I am in no means an artist, but I do enjoy crafting every now and then. You may remember I wanted to make some of these crafts this month.  I would say I was rather successful.  Those blocks I started and finished in one day.  The quote boards took me a little longer just because I wasn't loving how the letter were coming out.  I was originally only going to do one of these quote boards but when I went to check out my wood scraps I happened to have a board that was 20x24 and each of these needed to be 10x24 so it just ended up working out perfectly.  So with some wood cutting help from my dad, and some letter cutting from my friend Liz, there you have it.  4 new crafts that I am sure loving!

The kids really wanted to get in on the action so I had them help me paint these little heart.  I plan on turning them into jumbo conversation hearts but haven't finished them up yet.  The kids did a great job painting, I didn't even touch them up. 

P has really started to enjoy writing and drawing.  It has been so fun to watch him.  One day he was playing with these books we have.  Usually he just does the mazes but this day he really wanted to draw the things it said.  I offered to help or even just to show him but he just wanted me to talk him through it.  I think they came out quite impressive for it being his first drawing ever.  
Can you match up the words with the right pictures?

Creating just makes you feel good doesn't it.  It can be something big or something small.  It can be something for you or something for others.  But every time, looking back at what you have accomplished it really feels amazing.  I think the subject is a little more dear as I am my body currently creating a new being.  Looking at P & Em and how much joy and love they have brought to my life.  Seeing their wonderful yet so unique personalities just makes me so anxious to meet this new little one.  It truly is a miracle and I feel so blessed to be a tool through which Heavenly Father creates his most magnificent creature.

Thinking about all this reminded me of this little video which I love.  I hope you enjoy it to.

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...
