When we read the Book of Mormon as a family we stop and talk about scriptures that we can relate to our lives. We read until we're able to do this, which believe it or not makes for a long (truly rewarding) course in reading the Book of Mormon. A while back we read Alma 34:38 and it popped out at us. The context is beautiful and the verb "live" makes this scripture of thanksgiving unique. We've revisited this scripture many times and so recently we made a family project of it. The kids painted this big red heart and we included part of Alma 34:38 on our painting. Someday I'll frame it, but for now the canvas hangs strategically in a high traffic area of our home so we're constantly reminded of it's message.
We're heading south to visit family for Thanksgiving, and since I probably won't be posting to our blog until we get back, on behalf of our whole Beantown Menzie family I wanted to wish you all a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. May we all have wisdom to witness the Lord's hand in our lives & live in thanksgiving daily.
Best Wishes,
Wayne, Rebecca, Christina, Thomas, Grace, Caroline & Wesley
