Every single second, every breath, every step is a gift that we must appreciate fully! How many times do we forget the many, many blessings we have in our lives? Each of us have struggles we have faced, are facing and will face in the future. It's a part of life here on earth...as a mortal...This past weekend has been very spiritual with many reminders of the blessings I have been given throughout my life. We had a wonderful stake conference with Elder Kicuchi and Elder Wheeler. I think our whole stake will be better for the opportunity of having them in our midst for the weekend.
This morning on my run my thoughts were with our cute friend Cambrey and her dad Terry and mom Taunia along with the rest of their family. I also noticed that Burt has his cute daughter in the hospital too. I also thought of our neighbor who is waiting for a liver transplant and a friend who is in the beginning stages of finding out she needs a lung transplant (never smoked a day in her life). Then there is my friend who burned her hand very badly a few weeks ago. And just the flu that has got people down so much lately. And Bonnie's black eye... and oh so many more things.
Moral of my story...we need to make the most of each and every day....each and every talent...each and every opportunity to help someone or share a smile. I hope I can remember the things I have felt and learned this past weekend to help me be a better person.
