ATTITUDE

My parents spoke today in the Westminster Students Ward they have been serving a mission in for the past two years. They were released today so they had them speak. I was really glad we went. It is so good for our kids to hear the awesome testimonies they have of the gospel. My mom spoke on ATTITUDE and what kind of an ATTITIDE you have determines what kind of days and lives we lead. She said there is one thing we all have and it is our own ATTITUDE. My mom is the most positive, giving, loving person I know. She has had to endure alot of physical problems in the past few years but no one would ever know. She never complains and just serves and is always happy. Throughout my life we had several different people live with us from 3 months to 4 years because of their family circumstances or needing to be closer to the U of U. My mom is constantly having people to dinner. Whether it is an elderly person, young student with no family in town, newly married or just anyone she feels like entertaining. I wish I could give 1/2 what she does. She is the best speaker (something I didn't inherit). She speaks and people just hang on to her every word. She is the best mom and would do ANYTHING for her family. My dad spoke on his love for the gospel and his family. He is also a very good speaker and when he speaks people just like to listen to what he has to say. He is definately more quiet than my mom but boy does he know alot about the Book of Mormon. He also is the most giving person and would do ANYTHING for his family. This past weekend he had A GRANDPAS sleepover with 12 of his 17 grandkids. He does it once a year and the kids love it. They all sleep in the family room (including my dad) and watch movies. This year he had them paint ornaments and took them to a guy that lives in his neighborhood to see his "18" snakes (which the kids loved). He even took them on Saturday morning to his ward breakfast where they got to eat, do crafts and see Santa. It is a great break for us parents to get a night off from the kids but more importantly it is fun for the kids to spend a night with Grandpa. I love you MOM and DAD. Thanks for making me realize what is important in my life and just being YOU.
