Come What May and Love It

Hayden has gotten on a food kick lately. First he came to me and told me I am a great cook. He thinks I should publish a book with all of my great recipies. I told him thank you but I can't publish a book because I did not make up the recipies. He said what about cabbage salad, well that one came from my mom. What about peach pasta? well that one came from the interenet. He is also gotten on a cooking show kick. He really likes Kitchen Boss. After every show he wants to try something on the show to make for dinner. So I guess for dinner tonight we will try . Buddy's grandma's lasagna

I heard a quote the other day "you cannot have a rainbow without first enduring the rain." I for one love rainbows. After hearing this quote it made me think about challenges. There are different kinds of challenges. There are good ones and bad ones on the path of life. Some of my personal challenges, Good challenges: for the most part being a parent has been a good challenge. A photo challenge from a friend is a fun challenge, reading the scriptures daily, is a challenge that should be easy but I make it harder than it needs to be. Hard challenges: having my husband gone for a year, loosing a loved one, feeling of being alone, watching my children face challenges. Life is always a challenge good or bad. No matter what kind we face there are three things to do to make it through. Keep your "chins" up. Keep a positive attitude. Stay on the Lords side.
