Things that shape our lives -- My Perspective

I am so grateful for my knowledge of the Plan of Salvation and that I know that we will be with our friends and family after this life. I am grateful for a sweet husband who gave sweet hugs and kind words to the friends of the young man, who the young man had been hiking with, and to his sweet mother. I can't even imagine and I definitely can't imagine going through that without my knowledge that families can be forever and so can my friendships. I am grateful for a sweet and loving husband that loves others so much and is willing to help others, even those he does not know. I am grateful for our family and for children that make me laugh and smile and their excitement for life.
