Random Pictures at Springtime

The girls on Easter Sunday.

I loved this black and white of Kimberly.

Caroline will definately be short like her mother. MaKayla E. and Chelsea E. and Caroline are ready for a formal church dance. They looked quite nice!!!

Caroline does not like wearing dresses. She would prefer a skirt and blouse. I talked her into this fancy dress for the dance. It really looked great on her.

Mass Destruction

Saturday April 16th was a day we will never forget. Terrible storms and tornadoes moved across North Carolina leaving behind mass destruction. These pictures were taken close to my home. It seemed that it was all around us yet we were able to come out of this untouched and blessed beyond measure. We had golfball sized hail pounding against our windows but the glass never broke. As we huddled in our closet as a family we tried to stay calm, pray, and have faith that we would be safe. Heavenly Father was watching over us as well as the members of our ward. However, there were members in the Fayetteville 1st and 4th Wards that were vicitms of this disaster. Today (Sunday) the priesthood member of our ward left ready and willing to go to Fayetteville and help where they were needed. Among them were my two oldest daughters who wanted to go and help. I am grateful for their willingness to serve and their example to their two younger sisters. I do love the members of the Dunn Ward. They are always ready and willing to help anyone in need. In times of need they are always there and that is a wonderful feeling to know they are there. Things like this will continue to happen more and more as the time draws near for our Savoir's return. I can only pray that we will all be prepared and ready for anything. These are just a few of the many terrible disaster that I saw.

This is a small Hispanic church that was demolished . As we drove past their members were helping to clean up and collect anything they could.

What a bold statement of a flag that someone stood back up. It really brought tears to my eyes. This was at the sight of the Hispanic church.

Yes, my sweet little Kimberly turned 5 this month. She is loved to pieces in our family. Kimberly keeps us laughing at all of the cute things she says. She is ready for Kindergarten and I am happy and sad to send her. She is so loving and thoughtful for her sisters and she wants to do everything they do. Happy Birthday Kimberly Margaret Ginn. We Love You! We are so thankful to have you apart of our eternal family.

Great Conference Weekend

All of the talks were great this time throughout Conference. I always ask Heavenly Father to help me listen for something to touch my soul and teach me what I need to hear and know. It wasn't until the last session on Sunday that this prayer was answered. Something in every talk given stood out for me. I always love to hear from Elder Holland. He really surprised me with his talk. You never know what he will speak about, but it is always delivered with such strength. He seemed very emotional with his words of our devoted prophet. I was touched by Elder Scott's beautiful words of his wife. How sweet and special that man is. I heard many great and wonderful things about service. After conference, I always feel that I need to do better as well as uplifted and full of the Spirit. I feel sad when the last song is sung but gratefully, I know that in six months time I get to feel these special feelings all over again. How awesome is that!!

Cherished Memory

I haven't posted in quite a while. Life is so busy for me lately. I came across this picture of my family which was taken in 1975 as we were sealed in the D.C. Temple. My dad is taking the picture. It was very special to me because I can remember this. I used this picture and my dress my mom made me to be sealed in, which I still have, for a class that I taught at the Stake Women's Conference in March. I am so grateful to be sealed to my family and to also have my own eternal family.
