I sure love my momma. I am so thankful for her gift of listening to the spirit and then acting upon it.
Mom started this tradition 15 years ago when the Holy Ghost prompted her to start this as a tradition with her daughter, step daughter, and daughter in laws in hopes that we would feel stregnthened and develop stronger friendships in the process. Even though we haven't always been "all" together every year, we have never missed a year. I hope she can see that it is a success and that this is a lasting legacy. I look forward to the day that my daughters will join us and then my grandaughters, etc...
I think Jaclyn knew I was up to something. Just look at her face! Cracks me up!!!
Granny Joy is almost 65 and so she is a little slower than the rest of us this year...
The rain storm came and it felt like we were back in Oklahoma.
I decided I could have never been a pioneer! I am thankful for the things that I learned this year. I learned that I need to set goals and stick to them. The time is NOW! I also learned that I need to practice more patience. This was a real eye opener for me. I need to be patient with myself, with my Father in Heaven, and with my children. I need to slow down and spend time with my Father in
Heaven and be humble, teachable, and relaxed so I can learn what I must do. This is hard for me. Most of you who know me know that I am usually trying to keep up on my home, my kids and my dinner for the night. Then adding in the after school activities especially as they are getting more things they are interested in is making me cRaZy! So trying to fit time in there for me or the Lord is tough because I procrastinate until the day is almost over or over. So I have made a new commitment to myself and to Him who I love that I will check in daily. I will relax, slow down and take time so I can learn what I must do.
"Teach me all that I must do to live with thee some day"!

Im with you, I like what you said about slowing down and taking time to check in with our Heavenly Father, we check in with our families each day to know what to do So why don't we do that with him.
