What brings me Joy?

So I had to teach in RS on Sunday (I love being in the presidency !!) and my topic was Joy. It got me thinking about what brings me joy. So I thought instead of talking about it I would show a few pictures instead. Here are a few things that brings me joy........

Being married to my very handsome husband (for 25 years this September) who served a full time mission in Sydney, Australia. (Yes this IS Ross.....I know!!!)

My two children who have been so much fun and have brought such laughter (and a few tears) and adventure into my life.

The best part is they know who they are and what they represent and they love each other very much.

They have grown into an amazing young man and incredible young woman. I'm not sure how I got so lucky but I did!

Matthew Ross Barker (19 years old)

Laura Anne Barker (15 years old)

And let us not forget Saddie the Wonder Dog, who brings joy to us all!

There are so many more things that bring me joy, like the gospel of Jesus Christ, temples, eternal marriage and families, being out in the garden or just chillin with the family around the dinner table. Aren't we glad that, "Men are that they might have joy". Oh ya!!!
