We went to Yuma this last weekend. My oldest nephew Joshua had his court of honor to receive his Eagle. It was a lot of work for the family since the ceremony would be in their backyard and they had prepared all these goodies to share after the ceremony. Court of Honor was at six and thankfully the weather was a little cooler than usual with a slight breeze. We felt very proud of Joshua and the kind of boy he is, always reaching for new heights and achieving his goals. He is setting a good example for the rest of the family. Angie enjoyed our stay there especially when they went night swimming in the backyard pool around 10 p.m. I wasn't feeling well so I didn't. I had this headache and nauseous feeling in my stomach. I took a pill and after some time I felt better. So I did the dishes to help out my sister-in-law. We ended up going to bed at around midnight. One thing they mentioned during the ceremony that I really didn't know about its meaning was that Joshua was the "creme of the crop" ( I hope that's how you say it in English), because the "creme" always rises to the top, and that's the kind of boy he is. So that made my mind start working and thinking, as members of the church we all should strive to rise to the top, not settle with just being part of the bunch, staying in the bottom. I know I want to see me, my husband and my children rise to the top in any situation or challenge we may face. That's why we are here on Earth, to grow and learn wisdom, and not just "cruise" through this life without achieving any success, both temporal and spiritual.
