The question of the Day is "Will I want to be the person I've Become when all is Said and Done?" This morning I've been thinking about the words of a song written by Katherine Nelson titled "When all is said and done", When all is said and done, as the season slips away, when I've taken steps beyond my sight, will I find my strength in greater light, will my courage grow with every passing day and will my faith be constant as the setting sun, when all is said and done? Sometimes in life it seems like its never going to be enough, we always want one more thing to bring us that happiness or satisfaction and we tire our minds, day and night, on how we will attain it. I guess its quite human and normal to be feeling this way as that is a sign of growth and determination to strive for the better but the difference lies in how we prioritize our time and efforts and what we deem most important in our lives as Individuals and as a Family....I know this is pretty deep stuff :-)) Just something to think about I guess~:>
As for our Current Events, we are now in our Very Own Home, have been for the the past 3 weeks. We closed and received our keys on Thursday, August 11th and had everything moved in, including ourselves on Saturday the 13th. We could not have done it without the help of mortal angels such as Bishop Wickhm, April Nitsos and their respective families, Cottage Park Ward family, Matakibau Family, Tavai Family, Our Uncle Bill and Jasmine, our Pu Titi, Aunty Diana and Foki and all our Family and Loved ones who connected with us through their Love & Prayers...Its still like a dream to us as we look back how far we've come starting off in our West La Loma Apartment, then to our Duplex on Sweet Way ad now to our Home on 9210 Sungold Way... What can we say other than 'THANK YOU DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER'. So very grateful to my dearest Mother and Father for all that they have done and continue to do for us in helping us reach the goals we set as a family. Grateful for a Wonderful, Supportive and very Patient Husband for all his hardwork and Love for me and our Children. And I thank my Father in Heaven for my Most precious Blessings, my children, for the Joy and Totality they bring to me and to our Family. My only Hope is that we will use all we have been Blessed with, including our Beautiful New Home to raise up our Children in the Ways of the Lord and Prepare them to face the world and make choices that will bring them Joy in this Life and in the Life to come.
And now back to the deep thoughts, It is ok to be striving for the better, but like Jacob counselled the Nephites, "But before ye seek for riches, seek ye first the Kingdom of God". This formula has worked from the beginning of days and will work for ever and ever. When followed, there is an outpouring of Peace, Love & Harmony in the Home and all that the Lord sees fit, according to our Faith and the Righteous Desires of our Hearts. OK I think Im done preaching, now I need to go and Do! Did I tell you how grateful I am to be a Member of the Kingdom of God here on earth, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It has taught me and continues to teach me and call me to repentance too often, on how to Live a Good Life, preparatory to returning to my Heavenly Home!! Oh Happy Day :-)
