Sibling Love

By
One of my favorite things in the world is watching my children love each other.  Watching them be best buddies.  Watching them laugh together, play together, even just talk to each other.  I love it.  Just melts my heart and makes me love them even more.  Ever since Riley joined our family it has been so fun to watch them love her.  And boy do they love her!

Em especially likes to "love" Riley.  We like to joke that she malls her with love.  You can tell by Riley's expression how she feels about it.

I seriously LOVE these shots.  It says so much about Em as a big sister and Riley's face just captures the moment perfectly.  I ask Em literally ALL DAY LONG to get off her sister, or to be softer, or quieter.  It is hard to get too mad when she is doing it out of so much love but still... ALL. DAY. LONG.  No doubt about it, Ri is going to grow up to be one tough cookie!

Family life is the best!  Just tonight we were playing games and reading books and we just had so much fun together.  At one point Jeff and I were laughing so hard we were crying.  Seriously, family life is the BEST!  We are so blessed to have each other.  It is here in the family that we can learn about the true purpose of life.  It is here where the really important things are.  It is here where we experience what love really is.  And I truly love my family with every fiber of my being.

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...
