Outlast the Devil, we will…

I went out to get some late Saturday night groceries
and watched the large moon rise over the mountains
(much like this… only I didn’t take this one.
Have you ever tried to take a picture of the moon, in all it’s glory, with a dinky camera?
It looks like a dot in the sky, even though in real life it was spectacular… anyhoo)
Yes, I saw the moon rise over the wasatch mountains.
It healed my soul (for you see, I had just erupted at my little ones about EVERYTHING and NOTHING.)
Tomorrow I will need to share that so their little hearts will know mom still loves them
even when things don’t go splendidly.

A conversation in Walmart via cell phone with my sister in California nearly made me cry.
She reminded me that because of how hard we try to do good…
and DO so much good,
that booger of a Satan works extra hard to bring us down.
I found this quote which made me want to put on my sword and shield and take courage.

And this scripture …AWESOME …
Reminds me of this poem:
Look up and not down… Look forward and not back… look out and not in… lend a hand. (edward everett hale).

And lastly… I just thought this quote from that same talk, very insightful.
Our physical affects our spiritual… so true. A good reminder.And thus … I will go to bed though the hour is not early.
There is always hope for early bedtime tomorrow.

I wish I would have read this before we came to your ward’s sacrament meeting where Sophia threw the biggest fit of her little life yet. I stood outside in the cold and wondered whatever are we going to do with that little child. Thanks for your post today!
