Happy Birthday Porter

This year Porter turned 6. He spent the night at Nana's the night before his birthday and woke up to fun Birthday pancakes.

It's hard to believe that my first grandchild is already 6. He even starts first grade this year. Happy Birthday Porter...

Quote by Edward Everrett Hale...

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do."

We can't take care of the whole earth but we can take care of each other. Service to others is what I want to really do this year. If I can make a small deverence then I can feel good about that.

Jesus Christ said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

This doesn't mean we have to die to show love for our friends. We lay down our lives everytime we put someone else's needs before our own.

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."by Gordon B. Hinkley
