And, as I said before, after the tribulation of those days, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory;

"The Personal Journey of a Child of God"
Elder Neil L. Andersen
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
 We rejoice in the glorious Resurrection of our Savior. Because of Him, our loved ones and friends continue their eternal journey. As President Joseph F. Smith explained: "We can not forget them; we do not cease to love them. ... They have advanced; we are advancing; we are growing as they have grown." President Russell M. Nelson said, "Our tears of sorrow ... turn to tears of anticipation."


The Living Christ
P1
As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has had so profound an influence upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth.

James feeds Luna and then he comes in and brings me oatmeal and fruit. He really knows how to take care of his girls.

I was blogging this morning when James came in and asked me if I would go to town with him. I could think of a dozen reasons why I should stay home but I told him I would go with him and it made him so happy, it was totally worth it!

We stopped at Taco Bell for lunch. We each had the quesalupa which we have seen advertised on TV. I got the steak and James got the chicken. It's shaped like a big taco but instead of a corn or flour tortilla it's flatbread. They were okay but honestly, I will just as soon have a taco and they are a lot cheaper. James had to run in to Harbor Freight while I stayed in the truck and enjoyed my lunch.

James has been talking about getting a toolbox for the back of his truck for quite awhile now. He decided that today was the day he was actually going to do it. He almost talked himself out of it but I encouraged him to go ahead and do it. He needs a place to put his tools.

We stopped at Tractor Supply and again I stayed in the truck. About 15 minutes later I look up and here comes James carrying this big toolbox that is built for the back of a truck on his shoulder. The doctor told him that if he ever wants his ribs to heal he needs to stop doing heavy lifting. I don't know how to stop him. He still thinks he's Superman!

When we got home from town we both took a nap. It was a beautiful day outside with the high around 70. It looks like Spring is really here. James was talking to Chuck today and ask how their trip to the valley was for Easter. He said the family they stayed with, probably Jeff their son, had the flu and their daughter and her family didn't want to come over for Easter dinner because of it. Now Kathy is sick with the flu so the trip really wasn't very much fun. James told Chuck about my experience of being in bed for two days and then getting a blessing and feeling no pain in my back or leg. It's what old people do, we talk about our ailments!

Sheri texted to check on us today. I told her I was feeling better and that dad had to have more tests done for his prostate and kidneys. It was nice of her to check on us. 

Today I only walked about 4,000 steps. It's going to take me awhile to get back into the swing of things.

This evening James and I watched the newest Spring Fling Hallmark movie, "As Luck Would Have It" which was filmed entirely in Ireland. It is so beautiful there. I would love to go someday. Maybe in the next life.
