All is Well

In Sacrament meeting today we sang "Come, Come, Ye Saints". This was one of my dad's very favorite hymns. I can still hear his off-key voice in my head whenever we sing it, though it is fading a bit. Still, I am grateful for 1) the pioneers, and the trials they endured on our behalf, 2) for my parent's and the pioneers they were in our family - to leave all that they had (lifestyle) behind, and embrace the "Mormon" way of life, and 3) for the legacy given to both Pat and I by our parents, and now being passed from one generation to another. That song truly embodies the pioneer spirit, and I am very grateful for it, and that for the time being, 'all is well'.
