Three Years

Ah, it has been three years since Chuck died.In our thirty-eight years of marriage he did teach me some important ideas. Let's see, here are some "Chuck-isms" that I have learned:
-Remember, today is the only day you have.
-Don't let the thoughts of the past hold the future hostage.
-The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want at the moment.
-History repeats itself, so learn from the mistakes made in the past.
-Trust your gut feelings.
-You should love the sinner, but not the sin.
-We are all responsible for our own salvation.
-You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
-Families are forever.
-We have guardian angels.
-Heavenly Father loves us.
-We will live again after this life.
-We can repent and begin again.

Merry Christmas.

The Three Magi

I was talking to a friend today at school who has three older boys. She said it has been a tradition in their family to limit their individual Xmas list to three things they may want. Jesus only received three presents from the Magi. I thought that that was a great idea, especially in this day and age. All you parents with kids may want to consider this idea.
