But today is a new day and the start of a new week! I hope that things go uphill from here and I realize that I have so much to be thankful for! We have our health, family, food and shelter! I am going to be volunteering at Feed My Starving Children today with my daughter (in our borrowed vehicle) and 3 girls from her school. We will be packaging small pouches of food that will be sent around the world to countries that are in need. This is our second time volunteering at FMSC. In the collage above are a few pictures from the last time we went.
“The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.” ~Gordon B. Hinckley
Thank you to everyone who joined the party last week! I enjoyed looking at your posts. Here are the links I am featuring from last week’s party:
Hi, I'm Tonia from The Gunny Sack! As a wife and mother of three, I enjoy cooking, creating and capturing it all with my camera! Coffee, with a little chocolate now and then, keeps me happy.
Thanks for hosting Tonia!

What a miserable weekend Tonia! Hopefully this week will be wonderful enough to make you forget all about it
Thanks so much for hosting!
Thank you for hosting! Praying you have a better week!
What a crazy week-end. Hoping this week goes better. I love the Charles Hinckley quote!
Thanks for including our paper mache trees in your features! But, I am sorry you had such a cruddy weekend… Hope you get good news about your car. We recently had to replace the transmission on my hubbys truck and that really $tung. Though we were lucky to find a repair shop that let us pay for the work in 3 installments…

Awww man sorry to hear about your holiday weekend! Like they say when it rains it pours. Hope this week is better.

Love Always,

Oh my goodness, Tonia! So sorry about all these things going wrong. And I LOVE that quote by President Hinkley {I had not heard it before}. So good. A phrase that keeps circulating in our family lately is “These are first-world problems” – I think it means that we are so blessed that even when our problems seem significant, they are small in comparison with a lot of people in the world. I hope a really pretty rainbow follows your storm!
Warmly, Michelle
