I can tell you that as I age, I've forgotten about most of the stuff I had, anyway, unless I run into it by accident. Your attitude towards this shows a great deal of spiritual maturity, and a wonderful perspective. You have focused on the 'positive' and left the negative behind. What a terrific example for us all!

I'm so sorry, especially during this time of the holidays. It is a lesson to all of us to be thankful for the little things, even my unfinished basement, my heaping laundry, the dirt in my windows inside my house, I feel so selfish to have thoughts of complaining about it. I want to do something for you guys, but the word is to wait and it's killing me. We love you guys and I'm thankful for your example. What a blessing you are all safe and o.k. I was telling Clint, you guys probably don't even have a set of scriptures, or journals... my mom works at the BYU bookstore and they are having their sale next week, 20% off. At least you can have fun shopping? I'd love a new wardrobe, not like that, but you guys are so optimistic, what a strong cute couple you are!! See you Friday I hope!

My Mom emailed us quickly when it happened with no details. Just that your house had burned down and you guys were okay. I have been trying to think of what we can do to help you. I'm not sure yet, but we have been keeping you and your family in our prayers. I really don't know if I would have reacted like you have. I am truly amazed by you! We are so grateful that you guys were all safe. We're grateful you have family close by that you can stay with. I had to laugh at the packing thing. I HATE packing too. You're so candid about this situation and I think that's nice. Please let us know what we can do. Do you need some boy clothes? I could talk to friends who have boys and ask if they have any gently used clothing?Sarah Hederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072923858595172957noreply@blogger.com
