Cant Please Everyone!

Tracy and I set a date that we are to be sealed on October 25 of this year. We cant please everyone. It would seem that if someone in our family had a special event we would do everything we possibly could to make it. Heck for instance, we tried to make it to my brother in laws wedding one year and we had a rear end collision that stopped that trip when we were half way there. We had just enough money to make the trip everything else was put aside. I guess thats just the way Tracy and I are. When someone has a child and that child has a blessing, or a baptism, or a birthday party, Tracy and I put aside our personal lives and attended. Not worried about Gas, not worried about teaching primary, not worried about anything. We knew that if it was a family event we needed to be there to enjoy the family event and we received blessings by doing it. I guess I grew up different then some. We alway gave and gave and gave, and others would do the same. We had no problem helping family out with financial issues, we had no issue with watching each others kids, we had no issue having cookouts and get togethers because we were one family and thats all that we had was each other. I guess this is the new generation where people do not think that way anymore. If I lived around my family I know that we would be welcome and they would be there for us. Heck my brother wants us to come and live with him for a few months to get on our feet and move to Denver. Now thats what family is for, its helping you make life changing events and supporting you through all your successes and helping you when you need it. Its not about making excuses and allowing things that are not more important then family get in the way. Its all about what your willing to do for your loved ones, not what your loved ones are willing to do for you!

I am grateful for my family, I am grateful for others as well. I am sorry that we can not please everyone and move our life changing events around. If you can make it, WE welcome you, if not, its ok, we have plenty of other friends that can make it. God speed us all for trying so hard in this dispensation of time to be loving to others and be there for one another.

Peace Out!
