2015 Family Theme

Every year our family picks a theme that we will focus on for the year.  We will plan some Family Home Evenings about the theme, display it in our home... and each year I can tell that our theme has made a difference in our lives.

Before I introduce our 2015 theme, I want to look back to some of our most recent themes...

2013...

The ABC's to living an abundant life.  I learned a lot that year about my attitude and surrounding myself with people who lifted me up and made me feel better about myself. I still love this quote and could use it daily.

2014...

WOW!  Was this the year for change or what?  We made a lot of decisions in 2014.  We decided to pursue adoption, make a career change and even buy a new car.  So far these decisions have blessed our loves and I can't wait to see what God has in store for our destiny based on the decisions we made in 2014.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

2015... 



Our theme this year is actually from a talk that President Uchtdorf gave in October conference of 2013.  So it's an oldy, but a GOODIE!  We used a picture for the backdrop that was taken last October just across the street from our house!  I love the view we have from here!

We have big goals this year that will require strength, determination and consistency.  I know there will be times that we don't think we will be able to accomplish them... and that is why I love this quote.  Not only are we STRONG enough but we are CAPABLE enough to accomplish our goals!  I know that as we stive to do what our Heavenly Father wants us to do he will guide and direct us.  He will be with us in the good times and the bad times.  What comfort this knowledge brings... "with God, all things are possible."

We wish you a Happy New Year and hope that you will find the strength to accomplish those things that God wants for you.  God loves you.

Fondly,
C, T and C
