Do you want it badly enough

Hello precious children,

Have I told you how much I love you and how special you are in my life. Easter was such a lovely time for me having almost everyone there, minus Mark and Jo. I just thought everything was so great. The children were all amazing and well behaved, I enjoyed them a lot. there is nothing better for me that being with my family.

i have been pondering what to say this week, and I was quite impressed with a phrase that Bishop Dunstall quoted in a class this week. He said that if you want to have eternal life you can have it it, you do not want something more. that is so profound. We can liken it to anything, for example if I really want to lose weight I can have it if I do not want something else more. We can liken it to anything in our lives. how much do we want something. when Mark wanted to be a teacher he wanted it more than anything at that moment and he got it. what a good example he is of reaching goals/ So really we each can do anything if we want it badly enough.

Life is so fleeting and our family knows that better than most. Today is all we have and the Lord expects us to make the most of it, now not later, say I love you now, do a little kindness now because he knows when it will be our last, not to be morbid but just encourage us to be the best we can be now.

You are all amazing in your own way and that is a another thing we need to do acknowledge each others strenghs and minimize our weakness. We are Puddicombes and should always be striving to keep it a name to be proud of. Also remember what does the Lord expect of us since we also took upon us the name of our Savior. May we all raise the bar, love each other , love life and remember if we want it badly enough we can get it.

Please remember that it is Becky's birthday this week on the 5. Hope it is a special day for you because you are indeed a very special girl.

love mum
