A Life FULL of Blessings

Hann, Liz, and I got to sing with a few other families as the Nephites in the Americas when Christ was born. We did this as part of our ward's Christmas program. It was really great to be a part of!

Here we are in our Nephite glory.



It has been quite the two weeks for the Clark family. Dad had his planned sinus and nose surgery last Thursday. Then on Sunday he went into the hospital with severe abdominal pain. Long story short. He's pretty much been there since. Saturday they did an unplanned emergency surgery. (I'll leave out the unsavory details of this one.)

He's doing so much better! Medical technology is amazing. In the modified words of John Denver: "Take [Dad] hoooommmmeee, [recovery] road, to [our home on Thursday morn!!!]" He will be home by the end of the week if all continues to go as planned. :)


We have been so blessed during this time. ...Where do I start?

We have SO MUCH food in our house because people have been bringing us dinners.

Someone [A fellow Nephite] changed my brake lights in the church parking lot because Dad is the "car guy" that usually does those things.

We have had so many visitors and prayers and so much support.

Here's my favorite thing.


Sunday morning, I woke up to the sound of someone shoveling snow.

My thought: Great. I've got to wake up and get to work on the driveway before church.

I looked out the window to see how bad it was. To my surprise, someone [Again, a fellow Nephite] was shoveling MY walk.

Yeah. I totally cried.

It was such a small thing, but it made the biggest difference to know that someone was thinking of our needs.


I am so grateful for a wonderful ward. I am most grateful for our church and the way it is set up perfectly to take care of the needs of all. I am grateful for the opportunities to serve others because it is not enough simply to be served. Serving others makes life FULL; meaningful and joyful.

I am grateful for this amazing life that I get to live. I just don't know if it gets better than this! The gospel is true, folks! :) Keep on keepin' on!

Much Love!!
