"Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. And when the virtue of charity becomes implanted in your heart, you are never the same again." -Marvin J. Ashton
Charity is the theme for camp today. I love how this quote describes the true essence of charity as not something you give, but something you actually acquire as a part of yourself, and your heart. I think that true charity is not an action, but an actual character trait. For my handout I found these really cute wedding bubbles in multiple colors that have a little "heart" handle, and wand. I made some little streamers with hearts on the end in coordinating colors, and attached the quote from Marvin J. Ashton. I also sprayed some glitter on the paper hearts! Glitter makes everything better!
I join the girls and other leaders tomorrow afternoon! I can't wait!
We've also had another mishap at our house. I've decided I'm just ready for this year to be over! My little cowgirl fell yesterday, and bashed her jaw hard on the edge of the counter. She scraped the heck out of it, and also is having pain when she moves it back and forth. I'm a little worried, and I can't decide whether I need to take her in or not. She can eat okay, but sometimes the pain gets a lot worse, and sometimes she says it feels lots better. Should I just give it a few days? Or should I take her in...just to be safe? We're self employed, and the medical bills are piling up! Not that that matters in the face of my children's health...it's just something I take into consideration now, when deciding whether to rush into the dr. or not!
Well, I'm off to make sugar cookies with my kids! They weren't too happy yesterday when I packed up every single cookie I had made Sunday, and decorated Monday morning, and sent them off to girl's camp! So I promised them we'd make some for us today! Hope you're all having a fabulous Tuesday!

Poor cowgirl! That looks very painful. I'm sure it's just bruised and will hurt for awhile. You could just call and ask what they think.
Sometimes I am able to call and talk to the nurse for things to look for, without having to actually take my daughter in to the office. Not only because of the copay, but also because of the exposure to germs.
I hope she feels better soon.
I hope you have a wonderful time!!

Have fun at Girls Camp! P.S. 1 Corinthians 13 is my FAVORITE chapter of scriptures and goes well with your theme...not to always be the seminary teacher, but I really do love it. haha
Hope she feels better soon.
I hope she's feeling better soon.
Have a great time at Girls Camp!
Your poor daughter...I hope her jaw isn't too sore today. Maybe the sugar cookies were good medicine.
Glad I found your blog!
