- When, for the moment, we ourselves are not being stretched on a particular cross, we ought to be at the foot of someone else’s—full of empathy and proffering spiritual refreshment. On the straight, narrow path, which leads to our little Calvarys, one does not hear a serious traveler exclaiming, “Look, no hands!” (See 1 Cor. 10:13.)
Thanks to Krista who came today to take care of the little kids. We had a good long talk, but she also made sure the bottles were washed, the kitchen was taken care of, the toys were cleaned up and I got a nap. She's a great friend and I'm grateful for her and others in our old ward who have volunteered to come help out. Thanks to Heather as well, who kept the kids at her house after Krista needed to go. That meant I could go to a parent meeting at the kids school this afternoon, and not have to worry about carrying the baby in with me and keeping Brooklyn entertained. It also meant I could meet with some teachers about missing homework assignments that noone knows anything about (sense the sarcasm?). : ) We got it figured out and brought the assignments home so they can be completed tonight. Anyway, I am very grateful to all of you for the contributions you make for me and my family! Love you!

Kim, the quote is taken out of the second talk by Elder Maxwell. I just loved that thought and it struck me as very appropriate in your current situation. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and shared it for all your helper/friends to read and know they are appreciated.
Love ya tons!

Thanks for sharing. That's got to be one of my new favorite quotes. I am learning so much seeing your grace through all of this. You are such a beautiful woman.
Thanks Colleen!
Jennifer, do you live in Bountiful? Heck, we should hook up! : )
