"Find joy in the journey"
When I recently listened to President Monson's talk at General Conference I found a lot of wisdom in what he said about finding joy in the journey now. I have been known to say, "I will be content when I am at such and such stage of my life." I had slowly been changing that but after hearing President Monson's talk I really have started finding joy in the journey now. I realize that there will always be blessings and trials in my life, and no matter what, this life is one big test and I just need to endure it and enjoy it.

Nothing better than the prophets words! I love this post, I think we all need to enjoy what blessings we are given everyday instead of thinking we will be happier later when we have this or that. Your kids are soo stinkin cute I love that picture of them!! Hope you guys are doing well in Michigan!
Pres. Monson was so inspiring! Some times it is hard to remember and focus on what's important! I love your pictures...beautiful!
That talk struck me as well. I feel like there are always things to be upset about, but they are much easier to deal with when we are happy about all the good things in life!
