Love.  As the holidays and now January flies by, February the month of Love is soon here.  (I know that then we are heading towards spring, my favorite time of the year!)  February gives us a holiday dedicated to those in love.  It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, candy or sweets and send cards know as valentines.  I know that this time of year gives me a time to recall those whom I love and have loved.
There are so many different kinds of love, friendship, romantic, unconditional. Our Savior Jesus Christ showed the ultimate in love for us by giving of Himself as shown through his lifetime of serving others and ultimately offering His life as a sacrifice for all of us.  I know this is the kind of love God wants each of us to exemplify in our lives and particularly in our marriages.
I have been cleaning out the boxes of "stuff" from my mom's things.  I had a box from the cedar chest of all the cards and pictures she had saved throughout the years.  I sat down last night and had the most bittersweet experience.  I saw a woman who gave of herself tirelessly making others feel special.  There were so many cards of thanks for the gifts the notes and the help she had offered so many.  From Mother's Club at St. Emydius, The Junior Catholic Daughters, friends and family, my mother was there to help or offer a card, gift or support.  All the cards from high school, college graduations, marriages, baptisms, funeral cards were there.  I had a walk down memory lane with all the names I read.  I also read all the thank you cards that were sent to my mom.  What sweet notes everyone wrote to her.  They were all so special and she kept everyone!  I had such a great example in front of me my whole life of a loving and caring woman.  She was emulating our Savior, that I know. The things that were in her life are now gone.  (I did save some of the cards and notes)  I pondered that with my daughter and husband the other day.  How we are here in our lives and how it can all just be gone.  I know this is the way it is planned, we are born and we are here just like that and we go just like that as well.  I hope that we learn as we are here to be like our Savior, like my mom tried to do, as we make this journey home.  To have the unconditional love for others. To serve our fellow man, to love each other!

Thanksgiving week is here and then the Christmas Season will begin.  I know it will all zoom by as the days have a way of doing!  Remember to take the time to be with friends and family.  I mean to be with them, not just be there but to give them your attention and love.  Life moves so fast.  It really is short as I am realizing lately as I will never get it all done unless I live to be a 120 years old! (without disability)
We don't have to get it all done, just give it our best with no regrets!  Enjoy your Thanksgiving, count your many blessings and have a fun and joyous Christmas Season.

November review of October Conference Talks

November is here, actually we are in five days so far.  Many times at the end of October I have heard women say, "This month has gone by so fast."  It wasn't just "older"women saying this but young ones and even children! It has been a common theme in conversations I have had or overheard in the last few weeks.
     Is the clock moving faster?  I have not seen this visually but....I wonder?   Time is a precious gift.  I am grateful for each day that I get, each hour, each minute.  I spent many minutes/hours today reviewing all the October Conference talks and pulled out words and quotes from each one.  I will list them here.  Look at the words, remember the talks, the feelings and each lesson we were given by the Lord's Apostles.  I have set some new goals this week and weeks to come.  I will take the time for the essential things in my life. The necessary things, well, they are necessary and will be part of my life.  The nice-to-do things I then look forward to enjoying.
     Read, ponder, pray and know that we are blessed.  We have these words as a gift from Our Heavenly Father.  They help us to remember Him and His Son.
