"The Virtue of the Word"

Elder Mark D. Eddy

Of the Seventy

There is virtue in the words of ancient and modern prophets precisely because their words are the Lord's words.

As I was sitting on my bedroom recliner resting my knee, I noticed my left hand in the lower palm area began itching and starting to swell just a little. The itch stopped in my left hand and was transferred to my right hand. Let the swelling begin, and it certainly did. So far I've had my face, my right foot, my left foot, and my left hand swell. Now it is my right hand. It swelled so tightly that I could not bend my fingers. 

Hand is bigger than it looks.

Now I'm not only confined to a recliner with my foot up, but I can't work on my prayer journal or my blog journal because I cannot type or write. Christmas movies it is. I'm glad I had a days worth of Christmas movies DVR'd. ( Is that a word?) 

James checked in on me via the phone and when he came home for lunch. He keeps saying ER but I can't hear him. 

I took the time for a couple of other things besides Christmas movies today. I listened to my Hillsdale lecture in the course "American Citizenship And Its Decline." After I finish the course, which is 8 lectures long, there are a series of quiz's to take. I think I will need to go back and review my notes and the lecture notes. 

I also listened to Inklings with Emily, Morgan Jones Pearson, and one other sister who took care of her husband for four years who was bedridden and had ALS. 

James was very loving and kind. He fixed my lunch and dinner and was very understanding when I told him I wanted to sleep on the recliner again. I am very grateful for my sweet husband.
