People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world your best and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway.
-Mother Teresa

Regan's Prayer


Regan is a funny girl. She just barely said family prayers before going to bed and I think I giggled through most of it.
"Please bless mama to not throw away anymore toys. And please bless grandpa Greer that he will stop drinking...(a little pause here and my eyebrows go way up) stop drinking pepsi and start drinking healthy drinks. And please bless grandpa Joy to do the same as grandpa Greer. And please bless grandma Greer and grandma Joy to do the same as grandpa Greer and grandpa Joy."

Really, I don't know where she came up with that. So there you have it dad. Out of the mouth of babes. And you too mom...we all know you love to chug the cola;)

We had fast and testimony meeting today because of stake conference next week, so I asked her if she wanted to bear her testimony and she immediately got up and and ran to the pulpit. I couldn't catch up with her. She grabbed the microphone on tip toes and didn't wait for someone to get her a stool to step on. "And did you know we are all connected when we die?!? It's like we are holding hands!" She really is amazing. She has such faith and believes readily the things taught to her. What a blessing.
