Galatations 6:7

"For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

1 Thessalonians 4:11

"Work with your own hands."

That was the scripture for the day! I don't have a job outside of our home, but since being married I have certainly learned how to 'work with my hands'. That's what she said. But, seriously, being a wife is a busy busy job! And Kyle is busy too, being a husband. I can't imagine right now how much busier things will be when our baby comes - but at the same time, how much more enjoyable and happy life will seem amidst all the business. There is always work to be done, from laundry, to dishes, to running errands. Kyle works 5 days a week, very long hours, and is busy all day. Sometimes, people get so busy with life, that I think we forget to focus on being busy with eternal life. We need to be busy saying our prayers, spending quiet time together as a family (and individually), reading our scriptures, and setting goals as a family that will take us to the temple, and then keep us worthy after we make temple covenants.

Stand A Little Taller

Families Can Be Together Forever

So, it is really hard for me to think of things to write about for my blog. But, every day I read a little scripture from President Hinckley's book "Stand A Little Taller". I thought maybe I would share the scripture and write my thoughts about it. Today, the scripture is:

"Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 18:3

President Hinckley then goes on to share his own thoughts about each scripture. In this one, he writes that being 'converted' and having conviction is 'not a matter of the head'. Rather, it is a matter of the heart. Everyone on this earth, a member of the LDS Church or not, has the light of Christ within them. From my understanding, which is probably not all that great, this is basically the ability to feel the Holy Spirit. Everyone is able to feel this special gift, sometimes it just takes a while to recognize when you are feeling it. It is that little voice inside your heart that tells you what to do. Everyone, including myself, needs to practice listening and recognizing this gift. It has been given to us to help us, lead us, guide us, and keep us safe. When we listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, we will be making better choices! We will be happier, we will be creating happier homes, happier families, and setting ourselves up for the path that will lead to eternal happiness with our loved ones.

Life will be more exciting...

when the baby is born and Mr.Harrington is back in school! Right now there is just nothing to blog about because there is just nothing to do! Not that I'm really complaining...it's always nice to be still. Everything has been going great with us! Kyle sent in his early out package, and we should know by a week or so if it's been approved. I sure hope so, because we are already getting rid of most of the furniture that we don't really need, so the house is kind of empty! But it is still cozy and homey.

We have been babysitting 2 dogs for about a week. One is a chihuahua named Lulu and the other is a Boston Terrier name Krull. They are both really sweet! It has been fun to have some puppies around the house.

Lately I have been thinking more and more what I want to do eventually....and I really feel like pastry chef would be what I would enjoy the most! I would love to have my own bakery and be able to decorate cakes, but that will take some hard work. We are planning on living in Magrath/Lethbridge for a while, and the college there has just the program I would need. Hopefully eventually I will be able to take some classes. But for now, I am content with making this bebe and watching him grow for a while!

My New Life

I think everyone in the whole world should see this video. People need to be reminded, and need to remember to be thankful for anything and everything that we have. I am far from perfect, but recently I have tried to make a conscious effort to be more appreciative. To be a 'little more kinder'. What a difference these simple choices can make in our lives. People need to get over themselves, and soften their hearts. Life is not about being the smartest, strongest, person-able-to-show-the-least-emotions-est, having the best clothes, or car, or house, or having a million dollars in your bank account. That all sounds cliche, like something you would hear in high school, but just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't also fall victim to silly ways of thinking!
