A great Sunday

Today was such a wonderful day, as most Sundays are. Sacrament meeting at church was just beautiful. I don't know why but I was a little extra emotional. I am just so thankful for Spirit in my life. I'm thankful for the peace and hapiness I feel at church. Sister Scott talked about pioneers. Since her parents were the first members of the church in her family, it was nice to hear her point-of-view on pioneers. She made some key points that stuck out to me. She talked about being pioneers now for those to come after us. It put things into perspective for me about how I am raising my children and the example I can set. Then Brooke's husband, Troy sang "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief." He has such an amazing voice- the song hit me to the core. Then Troy spoke about our Divine Heritage. It was an icredible talk. I wish I would have recorded it. He talked about how we are literal children of our Father in Heaven. What a wonderful truth we know. Since Troy and Brooke are moving there family to California in less than two weeks, I was deeply touched. I reflected on how blessed I have been throughout my life to have fantastic friends. Not only have my friends been great, but their spouses too. I am thankful for the relationship Kent and I have been able to have with many couples throughout our marriage. I am grateful that we have been touched changed for the better for having known these people. I am always sad to say goodbye. Troy wrote a beautiful poem that I will post soon that describes exactly how it is to say hello and goodbye to friends that mean so much.
