The Difference Between Rich/Poor People

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "

It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" The father asked. "

Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" Asked the father.

The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! Pass this on to friends and family and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation. "Life is too short and friends are too few."

I love this story, I forgot about it until I re-read it today. Well, today I am going on splits with the sister missionaries. The girl we are talking to is feeling good about it right now. Which is good. :) So, we are teaching about the restoration today. Hopefully, she'll except the offer when I invite her to church.

It's all about the quote. :)

Yesterday, I found someone that I had just recently met on facebook. She had a quote in her a little about me box on her profile. Which, read; "Love is a fruit in season at all times. -Mother Teresa". I really like that quote. If you know me, you know that I am really BIG into quotes. I love what this one is saying. It says that no matter what is in season at the time, whether it be clothes, fruit, etc.....that love will never go out of season. So, as much as we are scared and have that fear, it's still there in the back of our minds, and sometimes we don't even notice you do love someone. Well, I am off to get my hair chopped off and colored. Talk to you later. :)

Valentine's Day

So, this is Josh and I, the day we went out to take Gabriel's engagement photo's. Well, I am going to blog about my Valentine's Day. Did you know that this was my first Valentine's Day with a Valentine??? Crazy, isnt' it? Well, we didn't do anything to big. We went to Supercross. At first, I didn't really know what to expect but it was exciting. Before, all of this Josh picked me up at my house, but I wasn't quite finished with Gabriel's cd he was making for Katie (he couldn't for some reason burn it correctly), so Josh patiently waited for me to finish, and then we said our goodbye's to the family. When we were walking out to the car, I was rambling on about who knows what. While he was 0pening the door for me, I just stopped and was surprised to see these beautiful flowers and my favorite chocolate candy (ferrero rondroir) in my seat. I wasn't expecting to get anything, other than the supercross ticket. It was a wonderful surprise and a great gift. The whole day was amazing, except how cold it was, we could see our breath. Josh brought gloves but he let me wear them because he knew my hands would be cold. Not only were my hands freezing but my feetsies were freezing. Josh is so caring and sweet; he took off his socks and put them on my feet. I laughed at him but of course, I said thank you. All and all it was a great day. We had a scare at the end of supercross, but I hope that the man is doing better.

Here are a couple pictures of the flowers;

So pretty, they are on my shelf but they are dying :(

Sorry Anie, I meant to do this earlier but I was out running around with my mother, then when you texted I was out with Gabe. I was trying to help him find some things for his wedding invitations.

Pictures of Gabe's accident

So, as some of you know from previous post that my older brother was in a car accident. Here are some pictures of his car. he is extremely blessed and lucky to be alive. I'm so thankful for our Heavenly Father and that side air bag that was the only thing that saved his life.

Only 2 hours of sleep!

Tonight was so hectic but yet such a blessing. I hadn't gone to bed until 12:30 because I couldn't sleep. But at 2:30am I was woken up by my Mama and I knew that was a little strange. She then told me that my older brother, Gabriel was in a car accident and that he was at the hospital. I looked at my phone and his Fiance had texted me saying that she was worried and was wondering if he was home yet because she couldn't get ahold of him and she had been talking to him. My parents left after finding directions and I was on the phone with Katie who was freaking out because they told her "he isn't ready". I then had to stay awake to take care of the puppy who was born the evening before but not only that I was worrying about my brother. He is currently still in the hospital but should be leaving at any given time. I'm so happy and thankful that he is okay. The doctor said that from the looks of his car and the drivers side hitting a tree dead on...that he was one lucky man to make it out of that alive. I know that our heavenly father was looking out for him and all of his loved ones. He has scratches and bruises, his hands and feet are swollen, bruised lungs, and possibly a broken ribs but they are definately sore. Then I had to wake up my little brother tell him what had happened and make sure I bring him to school. No wonder why little nathan is so afraid of cars and never wanting to cry. Everyone in my family has been involved in an near death car accident. Except him and me, but if i hadn't listened to the spirit it would of been me, instead of my parents who had a much BIGGEr car then me. I'm so thankful for prayer and the protection our Heavenly Father gives us. I love my brother with all of my heart and so so so so thankful, he is okay!

Sneek peak of Gabe's engagement photos!!!
