Elder Eyring's admonition
I hope all you are trying to think of something to put on our family blog that answers the question: Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or family today? I hope everyone will try and respond to that question once a week on our blog. I know that a lot of what will happen is very personal but I think we can word it in a way that will still be uplifting and strengthening to our family without it revealing perhaps things you wish to keep personal. I have tried to keep going each night on this idea from Elder Eyring and have not been consistent so I am hoping we can encourage each other on. I will start with one. My mom asked me to call one of my siblings because they were not going to go to Brad's wedding because of some feelings that have been hurt because of something he said. She wanted me to talk to them and ask them to come. I thought about it and didn't feel comfortable then I had the thoughts that I could write and tell them how much our family meant to me and how blessed we are to have one another. I recalled times in my life when they ( my siblings) have been there for me and how much it helped me. I felt the Lord helping me to remind my sister that we really do love one another in spite of weaknesses. That is why a family is so great. I will see tonight if my note had any effect. Yes, today is Brad's wedding day.
