Thankful

This year has brought a lot of things to my mind. Especially with the election and the hateful reactions of those against prop 8. I was beginning to think that in my life I would never find my husband. I was thinking I would be a single woman for the rest of my life. Then I decided to get involved with going to church and met my dear sweet husband. We started out as good friends, then started dating and came to a point were there was more than a friendship. Meeting him has blessed my life so much. He is such a great man. He has all the qualities I was looking for. I didn't get a long real good with my father and other guys were so frustrating. It also frustrates me to think that the gays are trying to destroy marriage and its meaning. How can someone be truly happy with a mate of the same sex, yea there are differences between men and women but they also are what helps us be compatible. We are able to strengthen each others weakness. I am grateful to have the gospel in my life, for my loving husband, for family and friends.
We are going to Utah for Thanksgiving to spend it with my in-laws. It will be nice to get away and to be with family. So I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Primary Sacrament Program

Today was our Primary children presentation. They did such a beautiful job. The Spirit was so strong, that I found myself with tears. Heavenly Father's plan for us is wonderful, all we have to do is follow his commandements and live the gospel in a pleasing manner. I am grateful to be serving in Primary and working with the leaders, teachers and children. It is a pleasure to see them learn and grow in the gospel.

My Prop 8 thoughts

I haven't posted any thoughts about prop 8 because I have been thinking a lot about things. We may have won the passing of prop 8, but the battle is far from over. It saddens me to think that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only one that is being attacked for being in favor. There were several other Churches and people that did not want marriage redefined. Someone shared a letter they got from the No side of prop 8. It stated that prop 8 had nothing to do with religion, that it is a civil issue. I beg to differ. I don't have any kids right now but I have found myself saying that I am glad I don't. I know it makes me sound selfish but I would not want to have my child face today's issues. If Heavenly Father blesses me with a child I would welcome it, but it is so hard to see the things the kids are facing in society today. With that said I found myself thinking that if gay marriage had become legal how would you and could you answer the question where do babies come from? Because you would have to explain their way of having children in their lives. Marriage has a purpose, it is to multiply and replenish the earth and only a man and woman can do that. HELLO! if it wasn't so we would not exist!!! And it is part of God's plan. Society has made it so easy to disregard Morales. I have been also thinking of what people have done with their free agency. If only they could see that the way they are leading their lives, is not great way to go. I am grateful for the gospel in my life and the changes that it has brought in my life. I could not imagine my life without it.

Halloween
