The Living Christ, Card #7

Here is card number 7 out of 15...Almost half way there!!!:)

 

I have been sitting down in the morning when I do my scripture study and reviewing these cards a little more in depth. At first, I could just memorize and rethink it all throughout the day...

But now, I really have to concentrate! The words are very beautiful, and pretty deep, so now that I am getting farther along with it, I have to really think hard to commit it to my memory.

I will sit with a blank piece of paper and write out everything that I have memorized up to that point and it helps me to see just where I need to focus. This is such a worthwhile and lofty goal. I am so thankful for my sweet friend who gave me this gift for Christmas and inspired me to try to reach this goal!

I think I can, I think I can!!! :)

The Living Christ #6

I am loving this challenge!

 I find myself stopping what I am doing in the middle of the day to sit and write down what I have memorized so far...I am moving along slowly but surely and feel like my efforts are going to bless my life more than I can imagine. I can feel my love for my Savior growing and my testimony being strengthened every step of the way.

It is wonderful :)

Valentine's Day is Everyday...

Clint and I had a discussion this morning about Valentine's Day.

 It's tomorrow and there always seems to come with it a little pressure as to what kind of gift to give each other.

Is there any gift on earth that can actually show just how much love we have for one another?

I think not.

Clint's feelings about Valentine's Day are from his heart...

He feels that every day should be Valentine's Day.

 Every day we should show each other just how much we love each other..

.every day we should do kind things for each other...every day we should give selflessly and unconditionally...

and that is exactly what he does.

As I watched this Mormon message the other day, I was reminded of my sweet husband.

His ultimate gift of love comes to me in so many ways, but I love the many ways that it is manifest through the way he loves our children, provides everything each day, and never thinks twice about where he wants to be or where his loyalties lie.

They are with me. They are with our children.

They are with our family.

Clint, I love you more than words can say. But thank you for being you...being honest, true, tender, genuine...fun, happy, always optimistic! ...Hard working, compassionate, considerate..."horsey," tickle monster, wrestling partner, and kissing monster :) We all love it...especially me.



The Living Christ ~ Card #5



It's been a month and I am a third of the way there!

It's getting a little harder to remember everything that comes before the next card that I start working on...but with a little faith, effort, prayer, and determination,

I WILL be able to memorize this important document! I just keep thinking...

"You can do it if you put your mind to it!"

(Of course I sing it to myself in a song! ;)

Good work! Keep it up! :)

The funny things Kambriella says...:)

As hard as I try to remember all of the funny things that my children do and say,

 I seem to always forget.

Time has a way of doing that you know,  so I want to record some of the random silly things that Kambriella has said to me lately...

 

 

Whenever it is time to eat, Kambriella says to me in her sweet little voice,

"Oh ya... there's a party in my tummy!"

(There is usually a little dance or jig that accompanies that line...;)

 

 

When she was eating breakfast the other day, she got a piece of cereal stuck in her tooth and said,

"Oh no, there's something stuck in my brain! Oh wait... I got it out!"

 

 

The other day Kambriella asked me what kind of juice we were drinking and I told her it was Cranberry Raspberry juice. Later on that day she asked me,

"Mom, can you please get me some of that yummy Crapperberry Juice?" :)

 

 

Just today we were sitting in the kitchen coloring together and Kambriella stared at me and said,

"Uh...Mom? Are you thinking what I'm thinking? ...... WE...ARE...SISTERS!!!"

I smiled and said, Yes we are Kambriella! AND best friends! (I think she was feelin' the love! ;)

 

 

Last night as we were all sitting at the dinner table together, Kambriella asked Clint,

"Hey Dad, ya wanna wrestle?"

Clint smiled and said, Sure! Then Kambriella leaned over to me with a mischievous look in her eyes and whispered in my ear..."I think I'm gonna win!" :)

 

 

I wish I could remember everything she says to me that makes me smile and laugh so much...

But one thing is for sure, having little ones in the home makes "Home" a little closer to heaven!

I'm so happy and grateful that I have been blessed to be a Mom!!! :)

The Living Christ... card #4

I have been working on trying to memorize

The Living Christ document and am currently on Card #4.

It's been a little harder than I thought it would be so I hope I can reach my goal of completing it by Easter! If not, it will still be something wonderful to do...I am just taking my time with each one so that I am sure not to forget any of the previous cards that I have memorized...

My brain is full but so is my heart! :) Love it! :)

"The Living Christ" ...Card 2 and 3

I have been trying for a while now to add some more posts to my blog since the New Year began and have found that blogger is having some technical difficulty...

I have not been able to upload any of my pictures.

 

 I hope they can fix the problem and I can once again add beautiful pictures to the stories of our lives. I am SUCH a visual person...I love the beautiful things that I see and how seeing a picture can spark so many emotions AND bring back so many memories!

 

I have pictures of all of the cards with the sections of "The Living Christ" to memorize...but since I can't upload the pictures I want to type the words so that I (and anyone who is trying to memorize it:) can still follow along and stay on track. :)

 

CARD 2

He was the Great Jehovah

of the Old Testament, the

Messiah of the New.

Under the direction of His

Father, He was the creator

of the earth. "All things

were made by him; and

 without him was not any thing

 made that was made" (John 1:3).

 

Card 3

Though sinless, He was

 baptized to fulfill all

 righteousness.

 He "went about doing good"

(Acts 10:38), yet was

despised for it.

(Thought I would put these on since the computer is finally working again!)
