What Have You Been Doing?

Have you remembered to keep the child within alive?

Have you taken a few moments each day to give thanks

for your blessings?

Have you given back to your neighbors and your community?

Yesterday my husband and I attended the funeral for the father of

a dear friend of ours.  This man came to Idaho all the way from 

Colorado on a pack mule in 1936!  He eventually settled in Ontario, Oregon,

homesteaded, married and raised seven great kids.  He used his God given talents to

prosper his own family and to continually give back to his country and his

 community.  He never took no for an answer and enriched the lives of

many by his service to others.

A life well lived.  

I am reminded to be hopeful, be of service to others and to be thankful.

Time is fleeting ~ make the most of each moment.

Lots of love,

Susan and Bentley
