My mission today: A goal or "mission" daily to accomplish a purpose to better cope with life experience. Whether it is about relationships, or emotional stability, it is needed to bless the lives I touch as an individual, parent, grandmother, friend. Recently I had a request from one of my children who asked about his ancestors and suggested I write about it here. The result could be the Second Book of Anna.

How True It Is~
We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Henry Ward Beecher
Saviors on Mount Zion
"We are encouraged to be "saviors on Mount Zion." I am pleased to someday have to report to my kindred and look them in their eyes and feel their embrace and gratitude that I remembered them. My only regret would be that I could do (or have done) more, and continue forward to make this work a part of my daily life" Anna McIntire 2. 22.2010
Elder Bruce R. McConkie said:
Prayer changes our lives. . . through it we draw near to the Lord, and he reaches out his finger and touches us, so we never again are the same. Prayer is the great tower of strength, a pillar of unending righteousness, a mighty force that moves mountains and saves souls"

Great Reminder
I Stand All Amazed
I am amazed how music, words and thoughts can fill empty space in our hearts and fill them to overflowing. That is why I love to share them to lift others higher and upward.

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
