"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"-Winnie Dalley

Ok, it's like you posted that for me. I have been a little stir crazy to get my house decorated how I want it, get crown molding up, etc. I just need to stop and be more grateful I HAVE a house while some people don't, or got wrecked by the hurricane. Thanks Sister B! ;) (But is it ok if I still put up the crown...?)
