Talents of Others

I am thankful to Michelle Burk who taught me the secrets to making bread which have eluded me for so long. I have always wanted to be successful at bread and all kinds of dough creations. And now I feel like I have it down. Thank you Michelle!

In honor of this new success, this week I have made wheat bread, cinnamon rolls, rolls, bread sticks, and fry bread for Navajo tacos. Fun and Yum!

Songwriters and Composers

I am thankful for people who have the talent of writing beautiful music and lyrics. At the Young Womanhood Recognition Night I heard the words to a beautiful song by Jenny Phillips and Tyler Castleton called To Become Like Him. Here are the words to the chorus. I wish you could hear the notes as you read the words.

Remember you are greatest
When you walk with God.
When his light is in your eyes
You are truly strong.
You don't have to prove your beauty
In the eyes of men.
You are divine within.
You were sent here to become like him.

Mother of a Young Woman

I am thankful to be the mother of a girl in Young Womens. I got to attend the Young Womanhood Recognition Night with Kim, who received a second medallion for going through the program twice. It was an evening where the spirit touched my heart continually.

Health

Today I am thankful for my health and the health of my family. I am almost thankful for being sick so that I can truly appreciate being well again.

We had the stomach flu pass through our home again. Out of 12 people, 3 remained unaffected by the bug.

Needed Words

I am thankful for people inspired to share thoughts with me about just what I need to hear.

Last Sunday I was feeling overwhelmed with all of the kids and wondering if I am doing enough for my family. Brother Lewis came and sat beside me and let me know how great a kid Thomas was and that he thought our family was learning some great stuff in the home because it showed.
