WELCOME TO THE JOHNSON FAMILY !

Another family has been added to our community. Great!!!!!!!!! Welcome Michael, Heather, Belle, and Zoe. I am way happy Heather. How fun it will be for us to visit you. It's the next best thing to being in your homes in person. Thank you for keeping your promise. As you will see I have already put a link to your place on our sidebar. Now just keep posting. Especially at first so you will remember how easy it really is. We love you all!! Now we just need to get a few more families to join and we will be complete. Hope everyone is happy, healthy, contented and at peace with themselves and the world. I find more and more that that state is indeed the most sought after for me; to be content and at peace with myself. It really takes working on to achieve but is possible I have found. Be sure to let all the little grandchildren know how much Grandma and Grandpa love them and miss seeing them. Thanks for those of you who visit. xoxoxoxoxo

"The challenges you face, the growth experiences you encounter, are intended to be temporary scenes played out on the stage of a life of continuing peace and happiness. Sadness, heartache, and disappointment are events in life. It is not intended that they be the substance of life. I do not minimize how hard some of these events can be. When the lesson you are to learn is very important, trials can extend over a long period of time, but they should not be allowed to become the confining focus of everything you do. Your life can and should be wondrously rewarding. It is your understanding and application of the laws of God that will give your life glorious purpose as you ascend and conquer the difficulties of life. That perspective keeps challenges confined to their proper place--stepping-stones to further growth and attainment."
