The Power of Love

We have been playing music for Casey in hopes of facilitating greater healing of his brain. We have read studies and heard stories of people that played classical music, specifically Beethoven's Symphony Number 9. Today I turned on the station and beautiful rendition played. It brought a greater peace and calm to the room. I pondered on my desire to one that can help heal through light and peace. A song came on that changed the vibration in my soul to a greater level.  (I don't know how to describe the feeling but listen and feel what is going on inside of you as you play different kinds of music. It may take a few times but you will feel it.) I looked down to see what the song was. The title of the album was The Power of Love. A flood of thoughts came to my mind. The power of Christ's love heals all things. EVERYTHING! I looked at Casey and told him that it is through Jesus Christ and his atonement, which is pure love, he will be healed. I was filled with that love and a stronger desire to be the love of Jesus Christ.

We can be the love of Jesus Christ here on the earth. It is our love for others and the way we serve that Jesus can show his love for us. We can wrap others in His love as we love more purely. When we love and serve with the pure love of Christ we receive love from God. Love has and is the power of change, all change. Change for ourselves and change for those we love. We can be the conduit of love of Jesus Christ the source of all love. 

I have been reading a book titled The Rabbit Affect. It is about how connection and love can change how our DNA act. There are many studies about the affect of love on health and quality of life. I have believed this to be true but reading the studies has given me something sold to hold onto. I know that our love for Casey will  help him heal more quickly. Our ability to keep the negative out and the gratitude forefront will be vital in this journey with him.  It has been interesting to see how the Lord is leading me to knowledge that will help guide me on this journey of healing for Casey and for that knowledge to carry on to do more good. 

Moments like the one that I received a witness to the power of love are the moments that bring sweet peace. It is these times that God shows me that he is here and will not leave me. Father in Heaven is our perfect father and everything he asks us to go through will make us better and better until we reach that perfection that He knows will bring us a fulness of joy. 

I am grateful for a loving father in heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ. They allow me to grow and hold my hand all the way through it. They desire my success more than anything and they will not leave me to fall. I only fall when I let go of their hand. I am filled with gratitude for their love and tender mercies.

Christmas Concert

Last night we had the opportunity to go see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra with Alfie Boe and Tom Brokaw. It was fantastic!!! Tyler and Jessica were honored to be dancers in it. I think I was the proudest Mama there. Doug and I just smiled the whole time they were on stage. One dance Jessica was right in front but we couldn't see Tyler. That was fine we could watch Jessica the whole time without splitting our attention  She is so graceful and beautiful. We sure love her. Then part way through the song a couple came out dressed in a gold gown and tails. They danced up and down the stairs reminiscent of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It didn't take long to notice it was Tyler. He was graceful. They danced beautifully! Seeing Alfie Boe perform was great. He has a beautiful voice and is very unassuming. After his first song he took a couple of minutes to speak. One thing he said was that being there was a dream come true. My heart almost burs...

Our Adoption Journey In a Very Small Nut Shell

I'm not sure that I have ever put down in the blog our journey to adoption. With 9 adopted children and a story that started many years ago this could be a long post. I will try to give the most important information but I'm sure there will be holes left. If you would like to ask questions feel free to do so. If there is enough interest I will answer those questions in a separate post not just in the comments. If your questions are personal and you don't want to share you are welcome to email me and I promise I will get back to you! Our first experience with adoption was in the first year of our marriage. We were approached with the possibility of adopting 3 girls under the age of 10. I was still working but had the plans to be a stay at home mom. If we were to take the girls I would need to stay home and Doug take full responsibility of the finances. It was a hard decision but we chose to go forward. The adoption fell through but the seeds were planted. When our secon...
