{Thankful Thursday..}

"Little things in human relations form the foundation of a happy, successful life. If the little things are attended to, the big things will take care of themselves. Lasting happiness seldom comprises monumental events, enormous wealth, stimulating entertainment, or phenomenal success.
Happiness is found in the daily events that make up a person’s life.
Words of respect
, support, and gratitu
de
can make daily events memorable."

Congratulations! I am so happy for you Christal. Now your family gets to look forward to another temple trip. Amy is always asking me when we can all go back again! It's such a wonderful experience!

I am so so happy it's finalized. Also loved the link, so neat. anyone who is pro abortion NEEDS to watch it.

Congrats! When does the forever part get to happen? Do you have to wait a year or what? I look forward to the pics of your family outside the temple afterward.

Congrats on the finalization!!! Thank goodness for adoption! :) Beautiful quote too! SO very true! That's why all the tiny things that we take for granted sometimes, like reading our scriptures, saying our prayers, really make ALL the difference I think, always take care of the little things and the big things will fall into place! :) Hope you have a great weekend!

LOVE that beginning quote. Thank you SO much for sharing! I have been so worried about all the big things my kids will have to face and this really gives me comfort! I needed it right now. We just need to make sure we do all the little things and then let go and have faith. THANK YOU! I'm so excited for K2 to be sealed to you, it brings back some of my favorite cherished memories. So happy for you and your family!

Alison said...

P.S. LOVE that video! I had no idea all those people were adopted. Neat!

Tiffany said...

Yay so excited for you girl. You really are so very blessed. Just think four wonderful people chose you above all others to be the loving, caring, nuturing MOM...I know our Heavenly father always has his hand in bringing families together through adoption. Silly question do you have to have K2 sealed to you now too? Just interested...did you have each of your kids individually sealed to you? Thanks for always lifting me up.
