The Purpose of Life

Do you ever have those days that are so great that you just smile the whole time because you are so happy? today was one of those days for me. This morning I drove to Temecula the town my brother and sister in law live in and hung out with them and their 4 kids for the day. I got to watch my niece and nephew play in their basketball games and see a job my brother's company is working on, i read a book to my niece as she went to bed, ordered pizza plus stayed up chatting on the couch with my sister in law after the kids had gone to bed. it was a perfect day. I couldn't help but think as i was driving back to san diego with the radio blasting this is the real plan of happiness. i usually don't get too religious on my blog but i just had to put a post out there saying how grateful i am that we have a loving heavenly father who placed us in families and gave us the opportunity to have these kinds of days. I couldn't help but look up at the moon with the clouds all around it and have this feeling that he really loves us and really wants us to be happy even with all the hard things we face and the ups and downs of life family really does make things happier. i sat tonight and watched my brother play with his 2 year old daughter and i couldn't think of a more important part of life. then when i got home and checked my mail i had a letter from my mom and dad with a wonderful note. I just sat their and read it and thanked my lucky stars that i have the family i do and parents who love me and would do anything for me. Sometimes i have these moments when i just sit and think about life and where we came from and the about the whole reason we came to earth and i just get overwhelmed when i think about how loved with are from our heavenly father. I look around at all the cars on the freeway and just can't imagine what that must be like to be responsible for all these people and for the out pouring of love that he gives us. I am so grateful that my family is sealed together forever and that nothing will break that bond. All i can say is i am so thankful for the great plan of happiness and for my family and all their love!
