This was one of the activities I was in charge of with the girls at camp...It was the culminating activity for the Stake. Our theme was a HEART LIKE HIS...and we focused on what changes needed to take place within us to be more like the Savior. As I was trying to come up with an activity, I was researching Butterflies since they make such a pronounced CHANGE in their metamorphosis. While I was googling Butterflies...this banner popped up on my screen that read Butterfly RElease....I kept clicking until I found the WONDER and BLISS of this service this company provides. Astonishing HUH??? They send you LIVE Butterflies that have NEVER flown before in these envelopes (see it in the back ground? It's yellow...AND they printed the theme A HEART LIKE HIS on each envelope...SO COOL). Anyway...I couldn't afford one for each girl, but we got one for every TWO girls...it was one of the highlights of my camp experiences. I wish I had a picture of farther away so you could see them all a flight in the air...it was WONDROUS!!!! I hope to have an occasion to do it again. Even if they don't remember much about the theme or camp itself...its hard to forget the day you were apart of launching 150 butterflies!!!!!! Made a difference to MY HEART xxooxx And I really LOVE that we "littered" the camp with all those butterflies just so they could go out and produce MORE...what was already a heavenly place is just a bit more heavenly.
My GOD is in the next room, cooking unseen feasts and humming.

I devote the rest of my days to acts of loving kindness. I help those whom God has placed in my path. I will be as loving as I can, as often as I can, for as many people as I can, for as long as I live. Here if you need me. (Kate Braestrup)
Instead of FEAR, I feel INSPIRED. Instead of overwhelmed, I feel the excitement of the possibilities.
I learn ways to replace FEAR with LOVE.
ASK FOR HELP. Follow the guidance sent to you.
DO NOT COMPLAIN...if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. (a mom I bet)
We become what we love...so nothing will affect your life more than whom and what you choose to love. Matthew Kelly
I wish someone else would fill this out...I'd love to see what others see when it comes to me(ok, maybe not). I LOVE my family, I love being home. I love to cook, garden, read, run, do family history, study, eat, quilt, play the piano, plan and have parties with friends, being warm-- the sun on my skin, my hands/body in hot water. I love the change of seasons, tulips in the Spring, annuals in the summer, pumpkins in the fall and soup & fresh bread from the oven in the winter.I LOVE my life. I LOVE babies and children and teenagers and adults. I love people. And if you're reading this, I'd bet that I LOVE YOU!!!!!
