Love is the answer...

Yesterday I got back from Young Women's camp.  We spent a few days on the shores of Bear Lake canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and sailing.

While everyone learned a lot about themselves, I think I came away with the most.  What I came away with is love.  Love of God, love of others, love of friends, and love of self.

As usual my girls have taught me more than I could ever teach them.  They are normal teenagers, but they're also very non-normal, too.  We had none of the usual ignoring girls, or teasing, or making one another feel unwelcome.  And if you know girls there are always a couple that people want to cut out of the crowd.  All of the girls took time out to make each other feel welcome and loved.  There is nothing so great in life as love.

Then when I got home my kids taught me that same lesson.  M & H had a hard time leaving my side last night.  In fact M had a "nightmare" at  about four this morning and needed me to sleep with him.  Even as cranky as I was running on way too little sleep they wanted me around.

So in the words of Weezer  "Love is the answer.  Makes no difference what you have heard."
