The A Gang: River Play

Jul 21, 2010

River Play

Our kids have found themselves to be bored sometimes this summer. However, today they came up with a plan to fix that. Addison cut a path through the weeds and made a jump into the river. The kids spent a good hour running from the top of the hill and jumping off the ramp. They did cannonballs, belly flops, dives and even somersaults. It was very entertaining to watch. The water was 10 feet deep that they were jumping into, so they had plenty of space to keep them from hitting something.

That is what kids are suppose to do....... make up things to do.

"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh you memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience.
--Gordon B. Hinckley, 2006

"When our children were very small, I started to write down a few things about what happened every day..." The prompting came to me, "I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down." "I recorded those things so that my children could have the memory someday when they would need it." "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?" "I urge you to find ways to recognize God's kindness."
