Thornton Mom

So great to have wonderful inlaws.  My inlaws came over on Halloween.  Mom T. had made these cute little spider cupcakes.  Dad T. had melanoma in his hand.  He had it removed but it was a difficult procedure and is taking a long time to recover.  I love to hear the kids pray for him.

Viñas, October 2015 General Conference "Some examples include arriving late for sacrament meeting without a valid reason; arriving, without previously having examined ourselves, to eat the bread and drink from the cup unworthily (see 1 Corinthians 11:28 ); and arriving without first having confessed our sins and having asked God for forgiveness for them."

  Again, I am so blessed with good in-laws.  Yesterday I had volunteered all day watching little kids in the nursery of the church.  I had forgotten that I needed to stay at the church until 4:30 and that the girls would be getting home at 2:30.  I called my mother-in-law that morning and she went and picked them up and took them to her house.   When I called to tell her that I was finally on my way to get the girls she invited us over for dinner.  It was so nice to not have to cook when I was so tired.  I just felt very loved and taken care of last night.      Book of Mormon, Alma 53:20-21 "20  And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this was not all—they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted. 21  Yea, they were men of t...

Grandmommy and Michael looking at the pond. I remember one day deciding that I didn't like this.  That this relationship I had with my in-laws was strained and I wanted to change that, but I didn't know how.  So I turned to my Heavenly Father in prayer and asked for help.  Prayed that our relationship would improve, that we could love each other and enjoy each other.  ...
