Together

 

This week is our Spring Break and we wanted to spend the time connecting and building cherished memories.

Funds are more limited this trip, but making memories doesn’t have to be expensive.

And we were blessed with some tender mercies. 

Life has taught me that the redemption of tender mercies often come with some effort and inspiration on our part.  

George was able to work an extra tournament for extra cash and we delayed the trip by a day which ended up being a health blessing for me as well.

I was awarded a fellowship that also took some effort but will offset our transportation expenses.

And the focus is on the time together and building positive memories together. 

Building family ties.

President Russell M Nelson said of his parents, “Marion and Edna considered storing up happy memories as one of their most important responsibilities.”

I too want to continue that work of storing up, remembering and sharing those happy memories that bind us together.

Does it mean there were never any negative memories? 

Of course not, but intentionality and focus can help remember what matters most.

What if you didn’t grow up with those benefits? 

Make them now.  

And remember that it’s the TOGETHER part of making memories that makes them memorable! ❤️
