This is a powerful story indeed, and a great reminder to me to slow down. I try to be like the father, and am much better at it than I used to be, but I still act like the son a lot more of the time than I would like to believe.
Is it okay if I use this story on my blog too (I will give you the credit)?

What a powerful story. If it is o.k. with you I will save it away in my talk resources. I think this is one our YW could relate to.

I love pnj and will try this French toast.

I must rush off to the Kaiser lab this morn. They want me to make an early morning donation...So I must say goodbye ...have a great Thurs and Fri and then you will be at the weekend...YEAH...hugs, Lura

What a story, Marie! And what lovely looking peanut butter & jam french toast! Must try it. (I had peanut butter soup tonight for supper -- sooo yummy!)

Please come by my blog on Nov 12th because I have a blog award for you.

Hi Marie! Er - nah - I think I'll let someone else try this. In my typicAl English way I csnnot imagine EVER eating peanut butter of any kind, much less with jam on ((((shudder)))).

Thank-you for that story, Marie--as always, just perfect. So important to remember to enjoy the journey--my husband has to remind me often...but I DO love to stop and notice nature, smell the roses...sometimes, however, I let schedules--or other people's schedules--rush me. I'll try not to do that today! The toasted PB&Js look amazing! My daughters will love that! Thanks for sharing so many lovely things with us,Marie! Love to you, Julie

I love this story! I am both the father and the son. Today I go to the temple. I will be the father today. Thank you for the lesson. I need it. All too often I am the son, hurrying and thinking of shortcuts.

Today I will make your banana croissant bread pudding. Finally, the croissants are stale!! My family can't wait.

I will let you know how it turns out.

That story does give one the goose bumps. But it is so true. There is a reasons for everything that happens in our world and to take the time to cherish family, to watch the beauty of nature and to help others is part of the plan too. More and more I'm taking the time to slow down and watch for the blessings that come my way.

I've been both the son & the father. Sometimes I'...

I've been both the son & the father. Sometimes I'm both in the same day.

Thank you for sharing that story. A neat thing to think about on Remembrance Day.

Powerful... It's 2:30AM in my part of the States. I can't sleep - my cousin, we grew up close, he died last night. He lost his 10+ year battle with lupus. I rush so much and have been thinking lately that it really is meaningless...I need to live each day more in the moment. Your recent posts have struck a nerve with me and I have enjoyed them more than you can ever know...
