Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

"How the Priesthood Blesses Youth"

Laudy Ruth Kaouk

"I feel blessed to have a worthy father who can provide priesthood blessings whenever I need them and who helps me to see my strengths and eternal potential, just as Lehi did when he blessed his children."

"How the Priesthood Blesses Youth"

Enzo Serge Peteio

"The priesthood is the authority to administer the ordinances and covenants of the Savior's gospel to those who are worthy to receive them. Through these priesthood ordinances and sacred covenants come the full blessings of the Savior's Atonement, which helps us achieve our divine destiny."

I fixed James a big breakfast this morning before he left for the valley. Sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and toast with jam. Everything was yummy except for the bacon and sausage. I got Farmland brand because I usually like their bacon but not today. I will probably throw the rest out and the same goes for the sausage which had way too much fast. James did eat the Jimmy Dean regular sausage. It is a little spicy, I wanted mild but couldn't find any.

While James ate I read to him from the Book of Mormon and then we had family prayer. I always say family prayer in the mornings and James says it at night.

Before James left he announced that the car mouse had eaten the bait but did not get caught. He did catch one the other day. It gives me the creeps to think that when I get in my car a mouse could crawl up my pant leg!

After James left I cleaned the kitchen and did the weekly clean of our bedroom and bathroom except for changing our sheets because James had already made the bed before I could grab the sheets. I guess I will have to change them tomorrow.

I did not feel well this afternoon. I had one Tramadol this morning, the last one that James found yesterday. I had no energy and an upset stomach with a potty run every few minutes. I did manage to go out and feed Luna her lunch.

No book sales today. We did get a message that $487.65 was being sent to our account today and another $675.63 on May 28th. One of my best months, if not the best, ever. I began today entering all of the books I have sold since January 2019. My first book was "Heidi Grows Up" and I made a profit of $12. James is going to do my taxes for me but I need to gather the information for him.

We got an inspirational message today from Brother Grapp a member of our bishopric. Since he is over the Primary he shared a story that young children could understand. He is such a good and kind man, and I am grateful he is a member of our bishopric.

This afternoon I ran off some lesson helps from The Redheaded Hostess website for this week's "Come Follow Me" message.

I am doing this for the Grapp family since I am Cammie's ministering sister and I am not sure if she thinks it might still be too early for me to visit.

It was after three before James left the job and headed for home. He stopped at Burger House and picked up some green chili burros and a bean burro. I do love their bean burros as well as the green chili. James likes the mixed green burros. He also went to Walmart to pick up my Tramadol and some Skinny Cows and the raspberry dark chocolate bars that he likes. He was home at 7:30 and the first thing he did was go out and feed his baby, Luna.

He took a shower and then we watched our episode of "Lark Rise to Candleford."

Lark Rise to Candleford

Season 2 Episode 4

The residents of Lark Rise and Candleford are experiencing more and more changes, and the old ways are receding faster than some like. When an accident happens on the path joining Lark Rise with Candleford, Dorcas Lane and James Dowland clash once again.

Quotes

Laura:

"It had taken many months for Miss Ellison to secure an invitation to the rectory for a humble postman no matter how ever devout. Miss Margaret had been praying that her father would make Thomas Brown feel welcome, but families have a habit of never quite behaving as to plan.( Her father is lying dead on the floor).
