Love, Laughter and Friends are Always Welcome

Some people come into our lives and quickly go ... some people stay a while and leave footprints on our hearts ... and we are never the same.

"Mine House is a House of Order" (D&C 132:8)

I love to do a puzzle during Christmas holidays.  When you pour all the pieces out it's just a jumble of shapes and colors.  You look at all those pieces and you can either look on it as a challenge or you can quit.
Sometime the pieces of our lives are a big jumble.  Just like putting one piece of the puzzle is at a time we need to put our lives in order one piece at a time.  For example when you are given a task or an assignment do one step at a time and when that is done move on to the next step.  The same goes for paying down a debt (a dollar at a time), getting into shape (one day at a time) or for cleaning and organizing you house (one room at a time.)  As tasks are tackled a little at a time things eventually fall into place.
In the process you will find that with each small step the task gets a little easier and it doesn't seem so daunting.  When the task if finally completed and you look back on all those little steps you will be amazed at how much you have learned and grown through out the process.
