Glasswing Butterflies

These glasswing butterflies reminded me of my friend Georgia. She makes the most beautiful pendants out of butterfly wings.
I totally have the song My Heavenly Father Loves Me going through my head:

Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky,
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by,
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by a lilac tree,
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father created for me.

He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings.
He gave my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things.
He gave me my life, mind, my heart;
I thank Him rev’rently
For all his creations, of which I’m a part.
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me.

My Heavenly Father Loves Me...

At the end of the BYU Young Ambassador's performance last night they sang this song. It brought the spirit and a tear to my eyes. It's been in my head all day. I sang it to Kylie when I tucked her to bed. She had a hard day today because she was so tired. It helped soothe her at bedtime. Kimberly, Bradley & I sat here at the computer and sang it along with the song All Things Bright & Beautiful. Bradley then wanted to put this on his blog too.

Savor It Sunday

I was released from the nursery today after more than a year and a half in there. It was time. I've loved the calling and the kids but it is such an isolating calling. I'll be glad to attend Relief Society once again.
I was called to be an Activity Days Leader for the 8 & 9 year old girls in the ward. I'm really excited. The bishop set me apart today and gave me a lot to think about how I can magnify my calling with these special girls. Kim is so excited to have me as her leader!

I spent the morning laying in bed reading my scriptures and finishing the book The Mother In Me. While I was reading all of the kids ended up coming in at one time or another and climbing up on my bed by me. It was an enjoyable morning.

We planned to walk to church today but it started raining so we didn't. I love the rain. It always reminds me of my mother. I talked with the kids about the day of my mom's funeral when it started raining right as we arrived at the cemetery. We talked how it could have been a coincidence but none of us really believe that. I believe it was a tender mercy from the Lord.

I love this song. I have been listening to it over and over again. Now I'm off to read books to the kids. I hope everyone is having a relaxing, peaceful Sunday.

Reflections of Christ

This beautiful video has gorgeous images and is set to one of my favorite songs.

One of my all time favorite Kenneth Cope Songs!

I've always adored Kenneth Cope's music. I love this song. In college I even learned it in sign language!
