I could see the trees had started to change colors up in the mountains while delivering mail and told Troy that we should take a drive up New Canyon here in Malad. He just bought himself a 97 Lexus for $500 and put a $1400 transmission in it so, we took it for it's first drive. The trees were beautiful and vibrant with fall colors. Just as we head up the road there is this old cabin that makes you think of those who use to live in it and what their life might have been like. I love these old relics and wish I could have a glimpse into the days when there were families living in them. I imagine children running around outside, father out in the field plowing and mother inside over the cast iron stove baking.
"The importance of having a sense of the sacred is simply this--if one does not appreciate holy things, he will lose them. Absent of feelings of reverence, he will grow increasingly casual in attitude and lax in conduct. He will drift from the moorings that his covenants with God could provide. His feeling of accountability to God will diminish and then be forgotten. Thereafter, he will care only about his own comfort and satisfying his uncontrolled appetites. Finally, he will come to despise sacred things, even God, and then he will despise himself." Elder D. Todd Christofferson

"We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude." President Thomas S. Monsson
