"Seeing Commandments As Blessings"

Up at 5. James confided in me last night some of his feelings. I woke up this morning concerned about his state of mind. As I was walking at 5:40 this morning I was also listening to Kerry Muhlstein's "God Will Prevail." He answered James's concerns beautifully. When James got up I had to play the paragraph for James so he could hear it. I think it helped him.

I finished Brother Muhlsteins book and began a book by Elder Bednar, "The Spirit of Revelation."  Saints volume 3 came out today and is available on our gospel library app.

It was very windy today. When James went out to work he wore his heavy coat. While he was outside I finished my steps, blogged and indexed. After 4 o'clock this afternoon I started a Texas sheetcake, doubling the recipe in the biggest pan I could find. I hope it turns out well. It took forever to bake. 

James is concerned it is going to get below freezing this evening. I am loving Elder Bednar's book! It wasn't a long one and I actually finished it today. I began "Far Above Rubies" by Tammy Uzelac Hall as I put sheets on the bed in Sheri and Ian's room and in my office. Before I could do any more James came upstairs and asked me to please come down and cut his hair. We are working in the temple tomorrow and he wants to look his best. 

I gave James a good haircut and afterwards he took a shower. I had taken one earlier and washed my hair. James went to bed around 9 and I went to bed shortly after.
