My dear young friends, if the Savior were here right now, what would He say to you?
I believe He would start by expressing His deep love for you. He might say it with words, but it would also flow so strongly - just from His presence - that it would be unmistakable, reaching deep into your heart, filling your whole soul!
Up early for my gospel study and prayer journal. At 7 I went into the kitchen for breakfast and to heat up the oven. I made three small pumpkin cakes. One is for Donna Peeler and the other two for us. I realize now I should have taken one to Barbara Klug but I was so stressed for time because we had an appointment at the Peeler's at 10 and I didn't want to be late.
I got a text from my friend Chelsea MacArthur this morning. Her two girls, Peyton and Scotlyn, were Bluey and Bingo for Halloween.
She simply said: How are you feeling? I wrote back: Much better! Thank you for asking. Could I get some eggs from you later today?
Chelsea: Of course we will get some in a carton for ya..do you guys have plenty of wood?? If you need some before this snow tomorrow we can get you some.
Me: Since James broke his leg, we don't have any cut. You are the best neighbors! His leg is pretty much healed but now he has a job starting so he is always busy!
Chelsea: You are kidding. Didn't know he broke his leg. Glad it's healing. We will bring a truck load of wood and some eggs over in a bit.
A little while later Jarred MacArthur rang our doorbell. He had a dozen eggs, and a roast for us to cook, and a truck load of wood. I tried to pay him $20 and he would not take it. It wasn't nearly enough but it was what I had. He went around to the back and began piling wood on our back porch. James came home and helped him and they had a nice visit. This is from someone who does not attend church but is always looking out for his neighbors. He has a good heart.
I wrote this text to Chelsea and told Jarred I would love to babysit for them whenever they needed it. He said they might take me up on that.
Me: Chelsea and Jarred:
Thank you so much for your kindness to us. We are so appreciative and grateful for your friendship!
Love, James & Karen Lambson
I finished Donna's cake and decorated it with some cream cheese frosting. I also made her a Luke 1:37 plaque, For with God nothing shall be impossible, some sweet apple scented hand soap, and a bouquet of daffodils card. It wasn't much but it brought tears to Donna's eyes. She told me I was the greatest and I told her I thought she was. We gave each other a hug. James got a hug too.
Donna said she was having lunch with her girls. I said, "Oh, who are your girls.?" She said, "Alicia and Stefani. Alicia is the bishop's wife and Stefani is her twin sister. They knew Donna and Owen when they all lived in Utah.
Back home for lunch. James and I fixed grilled cheese sandwiches and soup for lunch. Tasty and not to difficult to make. James goes back to work at Bartel's and I go take a nap.
I remember last year on November 2nd I made Donna a Texas sheetcake and I made a carrot cake for Cammy Grapp. I texted Cammy and wished her a happy birthday and she texted me back. I am glad I did it because it was nice to hear from her.
James picked up the half a box of apples we ordered from the Wilhelm's. There are a lot. I can't remember what kind but they are pretty tart. James likes them and I said they would be good for baking. He asked me to make some baked apples. I will, but who knows when.
I finished John Hilton III's book, "Considering the Cross." I also started his course "Seeking Jesus" and listened to the first lecture. There are 28. I also listened to "Original Grace" while walking.
I downloaded "Believing Christ" by Stephen Robinson at the recommendation of Brother Adam Miller who wrote "Original Grace." I've read it before but will read it again.
Beautiful wood inside and out
