The Source of All blessings (and other stuff)

As the year 2000 was approaching, I felt that we needed to do something more for the Lord.  We had been blessed with new employment. Our children were doing well.  We decided that we should dedicate our home to the Lord.  On the first Fast Sunday of 2000 just prior to breaking our fast, we gathered, knelt, and, by the Authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood, we dedicated our home to the Lord. We offered to keep our home a place where the Spirit could be nurtured and felt at all time.  We offered it as a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God.
Since that day, our mortgage, and all other debts have been paid off.  We have seen grandchildren come into our lives.  We have been able to visit with our family is some of the fun or exotic places on earth.  We have been blessed beyond our comprehension. And as we try to be generous with the Lord, He continues to bless us beyond our ability to receive.  
  At the moment, I feel my life is a little bit boring.  I get up and go to work. I exercise, serve in my calling and sleep. But I have a great deal of peace, knowing that we offered, and the Lord not only accepted our offering, but has given us far more than we have ever given him.
And now, as a bonus, some pictures from Christmas to March.  We had Tim & Tiffany's family here for Christmas. 

 As I said above, our life falls into a routine.  Having children here for the Holidays is a renewal.  I helps us to feel the excitement of "Just another Christmas."

 

 

 

In January, Lecia, Kennedy & Cameron spent a week in Tucson.  It was cold in Utah, but the nicest weather of the winter in Tucson.  It got up to 80 Degrees a couple of the days

 

Kennedy likes to be a princess

 

Whereas Cameron likes to have fun.  We decided a cheerleader outfit would be fitting, especially for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

 Lecia always did enjoy sitting in the sun. 

 In March, Kayleen and I went to the 4th Ave. Street Fair. We have lived in Tucson for 27 years, and this is the first time we have visited.  We did not buy any beanie caps or any food. Mostly we looked at the people.

 We did spend some time looking at the various forms of art on display

 We may go back in another 27 years. But we're not making any promises
