True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

A Great Thanksgiving with Family and Friends
Thanksgiving Day began most beautifully ignoring the 9 degree temperature (that is -13 for our Celsius friends). Then it decided we needed a little more. Our neighbors guest must have come expecting something better or just can't give up his shorts yet.
Eric and Vanessa had our family along with friends and the Elders over for dinner. Qatar is helping by keeping the dog out of the kitchen.
Of course before dinner we had to enjoy appetizers and discuss the Black Friday sales.
Looks like Black Friday took over before the final dishes were done. Oh by the way, Eric and Vanessa served up a delicious turkey and everyone else added special treats to make for a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner.
The begining of our happiness - front row: Paige, Heidi, Lisa, Amanda, Kristi; back row: Randy, Rick, Eileen, Steven. We started with 7 children and have now added 6 spouses and 25 grandchildren - the Joy and Happiness just multiplies!
