Brigham Young gave us this word picture about eternity's perspective on time:
"He is the Father of our spirits; and if we could know, understand, and do His will, every soul would be prepared to return back into His presence. And when they get there, they would see that they had formerly lived there for ages, that they had previously been acquainted with every nook and corner, with the palaces, walks, and gardens; and they would embrace their Father, and He would embrace them and say, 'My son, my daughter, I have you again'; and the child would say, 'O my Father, my Father, I am here again.'"

This has to be one of my favorite quotes. It brings tears to my eyes every time I read it. When I am away from my kids... then to see them again, so wonderful!! Can you imagine the love our Heavenly Father must have for us? It is pretty cool to think about.

To sleep or not to sleep...in your bed!

How do you get your kids to stay in their beds at night? I don't mind having a kid sleep with us every once in awhile, but my daughter is in there every night. For the past few months she has not stayed in her bed the entire night. She goes to sleep fine and then around 12:30-1 she shows up. So any suggestions on how to keep kids in their own beds?? I think this is an issue we all deal with!

"If we stop to think about what we do, really do, we are building for the centuries. We are building character, and tradition, and values, which meander like a river into the distance and out of our sight, but on and on and on."
