We go from day to day, working, dealing with the stresses of life and sometimes getting discouraged. We all do. The point of it all is to overcome and become a better person. In the midst of all the learning that we do in this life is the family that supports us. This last Sunday was 2nd Sunday dinner and I always take pictures to send to Elder B so he knows we have not forgotten him. I send them to him and I post some of the pictures here.
I am not always patient about my troubles. I don't like that they seem to go on and on or that I can't just choose what I have to deal with. Sometimes I get downright mad about them! I wonder, what's the point????
As I downloaded these pictures, I was reminded how much my family supports me in times of joy and in times of sorrow. They come over, spend time with us and bond with each other. Everyone has issues; every family. There isn't one that is perfect. Here are some visual images of why dealing with the everyday stresses are made easier and it's all because of family.
Daughter M's yummy bread sticks
Roast, salads, baked onions - yummmmm
Grandkidlets who spontaneously do adorable stuff like pull the little ones on a blanket.
Daughters painting each others' fingernails.
Halloween special. They used acrylic paints and then put clear polish on top.
Sons who play with dogs and grandkidlets who who watch.
Seeing the work that daughter K and her husband have done to make their front yard look better.
Nice rock path
