We made 50 years in November 2012
Golden Anniversary came and went
A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

To my Grandkids

A GRANDMOTHER'S PRAYER

Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,
Eternal beauty or youth or such:
Just give me a little hand to hold
And I'll forget that I'm growing old.

I do not ask for cloudless skies,
A life that's free from tears and sighs,
Just give me a little face to kiss
And anxious moments will turn to bliss.

For what is there, really, that means so much
As little hands that reach and touch,
As little eyes that search and see
Only the best in fragile me?

So let me grow more loving and wise
By looking at life through their wide eyes.
For through these little ones, Thou hast given
This grateful grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.

Sunday Morning

I love listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday mornings. I would go to downtown Salt Lake every Sunday if I weren't so lazy, so I turn on the TV instead and enjoy listening and watching the choir sing and Lloyd Newell as he gives his thoughts for the day. Last Sunday I turned the TV on like usual and the message especially touched me. I have been thinking a lot lately about how difficult it is to be accepting and loving with other people when they do not believe or live the way I do. I think it builds our character and as we try to improve and live more closely to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Our actions are important but so are the thoughts and feelings that we nuture in our hearts and minds. I for one need to work continually on accepting and loving others. I think this article is great advice for living a more loving life.
