Labor Day weekend...

It was a good weekend. It is always nice to have the kids home for a holiday. We really didn't have any plans Keith was on call and Paige just wasn't feeling herself. The kids played with friends and Keith and I ran a couple errands and found a little time to have lunch together at California Pizza Kitchen. It was way yummy and Paige fell asleep in her car seat just as our food was coming. Perfect timing for nap time! We really needed to be together and catch up on life. It is great to be with the one you LOVE so much! Later that day we went to the Phelps for some fun swimming. Keith even jumped in with the kids and played games. I got the cutest pictures of all of them and then my card on my camera started to act a little weird and it said my card was empty. I was so bummed out! I lost a couple pictures from Paige's doctor's appointment and all the swimming pictures so thank goodness I download my pictures soon after I take them. Sweet Metzie brought her camera out to me so I could take some more pictures and she emailed them to me. Thank you!

"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, "For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand." (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson

President John Taylor once said: "that the best explanation he could offer why so many little children among the Saints were called away, notwithstanding the great faith and power of the priesthood exercised to keep them here, was that they were bright and noble spirits who held important positions in the kingdom of God in the spirit world, from which they could not long be spared., They were given brief furloughs, long enough to come to earth, take upon themselves bodies of flesh and bone that they might be prepared for a resurrection to a kingdom of glory; and after a short experience in mortality were called back to resume important labors in a higher sphere."

Joseph F. Smith said:"Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid away in death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: ' You will have the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child, after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit.' There is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the resurrection from death. I love this truth. It speaks volume of happiness, of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these principles to us."
