This morning as Missie (my Bassett Hound) and I took are usual shortcut thru the convenience store parking lot, the clerk stuck her head out the door and wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. She often comes out as we walk by and says hi to Missie. Her greeting warm my heart and made me think about the difference people make just with a smile or a warm greeting.
You Make a Difference
In all you say and all you do
You make a difference too.
You make it a brighter place
When you give another grace.
When you give away a smile,
You lift one's burden for awhile.
The effect may not show today;
It will grow in its time and way.
But in heaven angels will know
And they will aide it to grow.
God knows the good you do.
He has by far a better view.
Remember you are needed too,
And blest for all you say and do.
Every little deed fills some need
And grows big with God's speed.
So do not weary in doing good,
In blessing God's brotherhood.

About Me
- Mom
- Mayer, Arizona
- My name is Suzanne Osborne Halliday. I am a mother of five sons: Michael, Edward, Stephen, Bruce and Daniel. I have a beloved step daughter: Lisa. I am the grandmother of seven grandsons: Anthony, Joshua, Aaron, Tyler, Mattie, Sydney, Zachary, and three grand daughters: Bella, Gali and Alycia. I was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1942 to Harvey Osborne and Joyce White. When I was nine years old my parents moved to Peridot, Arizona, a village on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation where my father had bought a trading post. It was not long after this that I was first introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A family down the road invited me to attend Primary. It was held in the back of the Weech's Trading Post in San Carlos. This was where I learned that I because of Jesus Christ I could return to live with my Heavenly Father again one day. Three years later my heart was touched by a Joseph Smith pamphlet I found in my brother Stevie's lunch pail. I joined the church 13 May 1961 when I was 19 years old. This decision has greatly changed my life.
