"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Mr. Helpful

Cooper is my right hand man around the house. He is always there to help me (or take over). We got a steam cleaner for the carpets (YAY!) and Cooper decided to check it out. He pushed and pulled it around the living room, pulled the hose out, checked the brushes, turned the dials and made sure that we bought the right one.

Thanks for your help Cooper!
