New Years Reflections 2008

When

Garth and

I were married

we had an inter-

view by our Stake

President in the weeks

shortly before. He gave us

some of the greatest advice

that we reflect on every year at our

anniversary as well as New Years

(sometimes we include birthdays too-it is

the list maker in me). The advice was that

this marriage of ours is a partnership with the

Lord. That it is like a triangle-imagine the Lord at

the top point and then our names at the bottom points-

forming a partnership. As we head into the New Year and

think of the different things we wish we did better or reflect

on the few things that we feel went well, we realize every year

that it is when we are fulfilling this partnership that things do or

will go right. So, we are looking forward to 2008 and hopefully becoming even better at this partnership between us and the Lord in this thing we call our life! Happy New Year to all of you!

(and if you want to go even farther-add some boxes under the triangle for kids and callings, etc. to show where everything is supposed to be prioritized)
