Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions:


It's All Complimentary!
Breakfast ~ What is a compliment you have received that you still remember?
Just a few weeks ago I received a gift and a note from some of my recent students.  They all complimented me on the teaching I had done in their class, stating that they really learned from me and that they appreciated my teaching techniques.  
I work very hard to teach in a way that will help the students learn and retain the information they will need to practice in the real world.  These compliments mean the world to me!
Lunch ~ Do you compliment others often?
Not nearly as often as I should.  Most days I am so oblivious to the world that I just don't notice things.  But if I do notice then I try to compliment.
Dinner ~ How do you usually react when given a compliment? 
I used to justify the compliment with "oh, it's nothing" or try to turn the compliment into something that wasn't about me.  But as I have gotten older (and wiser) I now just say, "thank you"  I feel that it is rude to not accept a compliment, and it doesn't need to be justified.  
Midnight Snack ~ What would be the greatest compliment you could receive and why? 
I think that the greatest compliment that could be given to me is that I am a good person.  I worry all of the time that I am not good enough, that I should be kinder or more helpful or less selfish - because I know that I really need to work on being better.

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

A Walk With Christ

Image
My friend, Marilyn, is immensely talented, creative, as well as a spiritual giant! She wrote a presentation called "A Walk With Christ" especially for our Young Women at girl's camp . I was so impressed with the presentation that I tattled to our Relief Society President and suggested that the sisters in our ward would benefit from the presentation. She agreed, and last night we again had the privilege of learning about the Savior by way of Marilyn's presentation. Because I was so moved and touched by the experience, I would like to share some of it (disclaimer: my words do no justice to the actual words from the script - both Marilyn's and those from the prophets and scriptures that were quoted). As part of the program, we heard the recorded words of Christ moving through the hallways of the building. We felt a desire to listen and follow His voice as we were lead to different rooms where we "met" people who had a direct association with Jesus during Hi...

Scones and Bonfire

Image
I'm pretty sure that we have the greatest, most friendly ward in the world. I look forward to activities with ward members, we always have such a fun time. Tonight we had a scone fest in the mountains up above Jezak's house. It was quite an adventure hiking up, but once we got there we found that it was definitely worth the trip! They had leveled out a beautiful spot and built a huge fire pit. From this spot we could see the entire city. It was incredible. It has been rumored that Kim is the "Scone Master" so we put him to the test. He hauled his camp chef stove and dutch ovens up the mountain and then proceeded to fry up scone after scone. He did not let us down, each scone was perfectly cooked, not the least bit doughy, and fried to a beautiful golden brown. He is the Master! We had a good crowd make the hike and we enjoyed scones, Stephen's hot chocolate, and an enormous bonfire. It was so relaxing. Over the popping of the embers you could hear several conver...
