Six Sentence Story: Safety

Photo: Clouds turn pink, orange, and yellow as the sun sets behind mountains
Soft words, spoken with a sweet smile, silence my racing thoughts,
And I know that I need not 
Fear.
External forces outside my control can storm and rage, but
This--our family, our faith--remain firm and unshakable. With
You by my side, we can live by the refrain:
"Come what may, and love it."*

*from a talk by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin




Linking up a Six Sentence Story this week with Denise over at Girlie on the Edge.

    Wise words and good counsel. Fear is insidious in it's ability to hide behind reason. It is anything but.

    I am sinfully envious of your ability to whip out these acrostic poems. Good one again.

    Kristi, this is beautiful! Faith is the only thing that makes me believe it will all be okay, and I feel sorry for those who don't have that kind of faith.

      Yes, life would be a very scary place without faith.

She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
