A day of direction

Today I had to give my talk on finding the good in life. I felt so unqualified to give the talk because I seem to be more gloom and doom than I do about the blessings that have been given to me and my family. But tonight I am listening to the sweetest sound that occurs in my household. Darrel is reading a book to Sara as they get ready for bed. She has grown so much in the last 18 months spiritually and I can only thank her Primary teachers and the Primary Presidency in our ward. She says her prayers reverently and really thinks about what she would like to bless. She is concerned when people are upset. She comes home and teaches us everything she has learned at church. It is so wonderful. This is the good in my life. I only hope that I can teach Sara as much as she teaches me!

Brittany and Michael, Thank you guys so much for being wonderful examples to me and my family. I can't tell you enough how comforting it is to know that we have friends who will help us as much as y'all do at a moment's notice. You make me want to be better as a member of the church as well as a parent and friend. (And thanks for assigning me to talk during Sacrament today. As much as I like to give you a hard time I really did learn more about what I should do and I feel that you were inspired to have me talk.)

As time winds closer towards my graduation I am once again anticipatory as to what the future will hold for us. I pray that Darrel will receive good news that will guide where we need to be. I pray that we will be able to follow Heavenly Father's plan and be better servants of Him. I know that we are doers of His work and pray that we will be strengthened through our service in Christ. Amen
