Winter Wonderland

Brrrrrrrrr...Lately it's been cold outside. Despite the snow and the below freezing temperature I love this time of year.

 Reasons I love Christmastime:
~ family
~food (cookies, hot cocoa)
~music
~sweaters
~decorations
~cheerful people
~presents
~ Most importantly people remember the Savior


 

Finals are here...I can't wait til they are over. 9 days until I go home!  


“ I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”
- Martha Washington 

"what lies behind us and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

“ The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's a top notch production with characters everyone can relate to. It's smart, funny, and has a Happy Ending.  Mom, Grandma, and me! I love this quote:  “As we exercise faith in Christ and trust in His promises, we can walk into the dark with the absolute assurance that our pathway will be illuminated—at least far enough to take the next step, and then the next step and the next step.” —Elder David A.

I can't believe the year is almost over The tree is up, stockings are hung and the family is home,   Presents are wrapped, cookies are baked,  and people are filed with charity and joy The following message is from blogger and plane crash survivor   Stephanie Nielson  really touched me, so I want to share it with all of you A note to those of you who hurt- Hold on. To those of you who are hurting or disappointed this time of year. Just hold on. Everything will be OK. Although in our journey here in mortal life, will encounter forks and turnings in the road from time to time- some more serious and painful than others, but we all have trials that will come. My heart is so heavy right now, I feel such a sorrow in my heart. I just feel for those that hurt at such a hopeful time. Hang on. This time of year you should feel ever grater love from our Savior and you should feel the peace that comes when we place everything into his hands. Hold on.  I know ...
