Summer fun at the playground

Kathryn the Great said...: I just figured out one reason why I like this particular playground so much: No swings! (Overly active children running freely, careening into people already on the swings, not my favorite thing to monitor!)

Great Quotes

Said one well-known author: “Both abundance and lack [of abundance] exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend . . . when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present—love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us [happiness]—the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth.”

Sarah Ban Breathnach as quoted by President Thomas S. Monson last General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.

Joseph B. Wirthlin (one of the twelve apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
