Utchdorf~ I just love this and wanted to share! Happy Sabbath! Love always, Kimee

January 21, 2013 “Partially losing my hearing has helped me develop patience for others, especially those with disabilities. It has helped me find faith to accept affliction. It has given me clarity to realize that instant, miraculous cures are not always the Lord’s will. In fact, sometimes just the opposite is true. ...While afflictions are never easy, all of them can give us experience and can be for our good (see D&C 122:7)." ~Bonnie D.

1-25-13 Good Friday morning! Here is a wonderful quote my mom gave me that wanted to share! "You must learn to be patient....Learn to love the moment you are in.

1-31-2013 "It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad." C. S. Lewis~ So it is with each of us in that our loving Heavenly Father knows who we are and who we are to become. Therefore, it is not easy hatching and learning how to fly, but it is worth it! Remember who you are and fly high today! Love and hugs, Kimee
