I often feel guilty that I don't blog with more frequency. I wish I could document every single sweet moment of my life. However, as the mom of four busy kids, I am lucky to find the time to simply pull out the camera and snap a few pictures every now and then much less take the time to download the pictures onto the computer and then upload and write about them on Facebook or this blog. Perhaps there will be a time and season where I can do more of that. Until then, I feel that if I stress too much about the documenting, then I miss out on more of those priceless moments. I just want to soak it all in.
Today, we got to listen to General Conference, which I always love. One of the thoughts that has stuck with me all day stems from one of the brethen's comments about the people of Africa. He said something to the effect that they are some of the happiest people on the earth and that ironically, they have "very little of the things that matter least and an abundance of the things that matter most." I, too, am genuinely happy. Though I have been blessed with an abundance of material comforts (the things that matter least), I have also been blessed with an abundance of the things that matter most. The things that matter most to me in this world include my faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and my family. These two things bring me such incredible joy!
Sometimes, I wish that I could just freeze time. My kids are growing like weeds, although much cuter and much more valuable. I'm so grateful I get to spend eternity with these precious souls! They are my definition of heaven! Here are a few photos we took Easter Sunday:
