Thoughts...

I came upon a quote today that stopped me in my tracks:

"I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less." - Anna Quindlen

For a task oriented person, this thought affects me deeply.  Too often I get joy out of the check on my list and forget to stop and enjoy the process.

I came across this quote while reading a sweet story of true love.  It is written in a way that would make Jane Austin smile.  Before tragedy struck them, her life story was being lived in such a way that it's contagious.   You can't help but want to live life the way she has chosen to.  As her story hopefully continues, I look forward to witnessing the strength one can only find through true love and strong families, influenced by the gospel of Jesus Christ.  You can read her story too by clicking here on NieNie.  I know she has something she can teach you too.  Her current situation is being chronicled by her sweet sister who is caring for 3 of her 4 children at cjane

My prayers are for NieNie and Mr. Nielson tonight and their sweet children.
