Almost halfway through the week already! Time speeds up the older you get, at least that’s my perception. My Uncle Grant Mitchell tried to tell this to me and my cousin, Kerry. Being pre-teens at the time, we listened respectfully and then went about our youngster business. Having remembered that conversation I realize how right Uncle Grant was, and I’m thankful for his sage advice. I pass it along to young people as opportunities arise. I am grateful for the many people I’ve known in my life who have given me guidance and direction. Not that I always did what they advised, but I appreciate the level of concern their guidance showed. Many of these people have moved on from this earth life. I thank them just the same for I believe I am molded in some special way by their love and concern. Now, being on the old side of life’s scales, let me offer some direction. Look at your life and single out something you would change if you could. You can do it! Don’t give up if it gets hard to do; failure only happens when you give up. Attempts that don’t work are necessary steps that yielded important information. Evaluate that information and try again!
It's late in the afternoon and it has been sunny all day in
South Jordan… a very pretty day indeed.
Leaves are leaving their trees, the sky is blue and the sun warm on my
face. It is beautiful to see and rewards
my senses. I have a great appreciation
for the beauty of the earth. This truly
is a glorious planet! The massive, stalwart
ruggedness of the Rocky Mountains to the east, the stark melds of pastels in
the desert to the west, the verdant green of woods in the hills and the patchwork
of lawns in front of well-kept homes in the valleys are pleasing to the eye to
behold. Heavenly Father can really make
a beautiful home for His children. I am
very thankful for the beauty of this place we call home!
