...our Father in Heaven knows who we are and what we did before we came here. He has chosen the time and place for each of us to be born so we can learn the lessons we personally need and do the most good with our individual talents and personalities. Chapter 2, page 10 of Gospel Principles
"Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones. Mothers, we acknowledge and esteem your faith in every footstep. Please know that it is worth it then, now, and forever."
Not they who soar, but they who plod Their rugged way, unhelped, to God Are heroes; they who higher fare, And, flying, fan the upper air, Miss all the toil that hugs the sod.' Tis they whose backs have felt the rod, Whose feet have pressed the path unshod, May smile upon defeated care, Not they who soar.
from Not They Who Soar, by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

what the WHAT? are we talking LAST December, or the one 10 months away???
oh, and yes... we moved once on December 26th... opened our gifts Christmas morning, threw them in boxes that evening.
luckily Santa was brilliant and filled their stockings with fast food gift certificates and car games.
T--this past December. grrr. And we had to do the whole move ourselves; no Air Force help. grrr again.
