So, there is just something about having your whole family together in one place. Just your family and no one else! There is a peace, a wholeness and a fullness of joy that comes with it.
So, this past weekend Michael came home from Alaska and he was excited to be coming home and we were excited to have him back home again.
With the boys all older now, it is so wonderful to see them show love towards one another and to go out of their way to do things for each other. Stephen had left earlier on Friday for St. George to play his first football game of the season against Dixie High School. So, we decided to make a weekend of it and so we made reservations to stay there overnight. So, after I got off work the rest of us drove to St. George to attend the game and spend the night.
The next morning we got up, had breakfast and headed to the Temple to do baptisms. It was the first time our whole family had been in the temple together at the same time doing the same thing. It was really special and just a bonding experience for all of us. To know that each of us was worthy to be there preforming ordinances was so rewarding to me. I pray that this will always be the case.
We headed back for home again after that as Bryce had his first football game again back home that evening.
I am so thankful to have my family back together again! Life is complete!
