Reaching for heaven

It's kind of a surreal experience to wake up at 2:30 am to keep the washing machine going and hear the most beautiful music coming from upstairs.




On repeat.

And I stand at the bottom of the stairs and have the extraordinary experience of knowing that my little girl carries with the her the spirit of her Heavenly parents and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Tonight I got to tell her how much I'll miss her.  That she is the sunshine and joy of my life.  That the time has come for me to share her with the world in a way that only she can shine.  And I can barely make it through this post.  I've had to stop several times and wander off around the house.

Just a small glimpse of what it must have been like for the Father to let His children, us, go.... out of His presence to make our way and find the strength within.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang!  In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
