My sister Emily

Today I am grateful for my sister Emily Claire aka Eclaire aka Goober. See, she is my first sister--the oldest of the four that I was blessed to receive. She was a pretty baby and always was a pretty girl, too. Now, she is a beautiful woman.  Many of my guy friends (yes, including my husband!) comment to me that she is very attractive. She was always the peacemaker of the family and relishes the fact that she is the middle child (of seven). Recently, she has re-activated herself within the LDS community. She has started reading the Book of Mormon daily, attending institute, participating in worship services and dating talented, spiritual, attractive, successful religious guys. And I am very happy for her, and grateful to live vicariously through her! :) I am grateful for her example--an example of how you CAN just pick up living the gospel and do it happily and without questioning. She confided in me that she always knew that the gospel was true, and that Jesus is our Savior, she just didn't always know when she would choose to take the leap of faith and go with God's Will and not her own. I know that she will make the right choices and live in bliss in the future. Love you, Emily.
