Happy Mothers Day Ginny!

Ginny and I are sitting here in Vernon this Mothers day with our lap tops cruising the Internet and watching Carsyn and PayPay while Jess and Amanda are out jeeping in the forest. (?)
It is so relaxing and comforting before we go back to the rat race of our lives.

As I watch Ginny interact with the girls I was thinking to my self "this is what life is supposed to be about" I don't know if I was to busy to realize it when my kids were growing up or this is what we are supposed to feel only as grand parents? It has given me a stronger love for my wife and my family. All the time we spend together is so precious to me that I cant bear the thought of being with out my family. This is what motivates me to try my best to obey the commandments and I hope my kids are doing the same so we can spend eternity together.

I have had some personal trials lately , nothing serious just things that make you wish Christ would hurry up! But I am trying day by day to be a better person. Lately I had to make some not very popular decisions and make questionable stands by myself but I feel the Lords support in all that I do. It is through these trials we become stronger to face the next trial. I am a person who feels he is not progressing if there is not a trial to work through. Ginny thinks I create most of my trials. Maybe I should just lay low and let things go by. Naaa! I asked Blaine the other day if he thought I was more relaxed when things go wrong or not the way I felt they should and he thought I was so I guess I am progressing!

Ginny and I have been together for over 32 years and my love for her has grown to were I wonder if it could grow any more but I am sure it will as I strive to follow church council and do what she wants me to do.
