Smiles From My Family

Written October 30th, I have had an ok day. I just finished watching the program on http://scouts100.lds.org/
to honor 100 years of scouting. My son was singing with the Eagle Scout Choir. If you didn't get to watch it and you have boys or know any boys, try to get a chance to watch. I enjoyed it, in fact it felt like all my sons were singing to me when they sang a song about their mom earning a Eagle. It made me cry and it gave me a peaceful smile. I hope they know how pleased I am for their hard work in the scouting program. I'm thankful they have chosen to put these values into their lives.

My Five Eagle Scouts Help Me Smile

Scout Oath
On my honor, I will do my best 
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent.

My Daughters Are My Angels They Help Me Smile
I am grateful for their love and encouraging words.
I am grateful they are good mommy's to my grandchildren
I am grateful that they love the Lord

Raising children is not usually an easy task. There are probably many things in life like going through chemo that cause you to reflect on many things. I am grateful for the opportunity to have the family that I have. To be able to have more family through marriage is a wonderful thing. You get sons and daughters in law who have started out in a family already and they join your family and it grows and grows with more people and more love. I know that they love me, (though there were some days from the past that I wondered), everyday that goes by I feel more and more their care and love. It takes me to a very peaceful place and I Smile.
