Now THAT is an accurate description of family


Elder Neal A. Maxwell has stated: 

“The pressures of life in a family will mean that we shall be known as we are, that our frailties will be exposed and, hopefully, we shall then work on them. … It is an encounter with raw selfishness, with the need for civility and taking turns, of being hurt and yet forgiving, of being at the mercy of others’ moods and yet understanding, in part, why we sometimes inflict pain on each other. … The home gives us a great chance to align our public and private behavior, to reduce the hypocrisy in our lives, to be more congruent with Christ” 

(Ensign, February 1972, page 7).

This is a great idea for a blog. I am betting I will find much council and many edifying, encouraging thoughts as I return.

The picture of your three boys is darling. Darling!
