His Yoke Is Easy And His Burden Is Light

 Many talks have been given by our Church leaders on charity, unity, love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and mercy. I believe the Savior is inviting us to live a higher, holier way - His way of love where all can feel they truly belong and are needed.

Today is Michael's birthday. He is 25 years old. How is that possible. Michael has a loving spirit and he is a wonderful grandson. We love him dearly. He is very thoughtful and sweet.

It seems like the hurrier I go the behinder I get. I am wondering if I will ever catch up. My goals for the new year should be to "catch up."

I listened to President Nelson's conference talk again and the talk given by him that was in the October conference. 

James got the results of his biopsy which was taken when he had his procedure done on the 13th. The polyp that Dr. Khaki found is cancerous. We are so sad, but not totally devastated because James is so health conscious. He overcame the last cancer and we believe that he can overcome this too. 

I mailed a birthday card to my friend Ruth Gale who lives in Snowflake. Her birthday is the 21st and she will be 83 years old. She is such great example and wonderful friend.

The Texas package is ready to go and so are the cards to Jared's kids. We got the mail and received the gift I was waiting for. We will mail the package tomorrow. 

James did something wonderful for me today. He put up the mantle garland and the grandkids stockings:

I've got my nativity, my tree, and my stockings, 

representing my grandkids and one grandkid-in-law.

Thank you Honey!

I took care of a charge on my credit card for $99.85. James ordered some supplements from a company called Juvenon. He unassumingly ordered a auto-shipment which I cancelled and received a refund for. We actually received the shipment and returned it. Just one more little annoying thing to take care of.

I was hungry for a hamburger this evening so James drove me into town and we each got a Whopper Jr. at Burger King. It cost us over $8. Everything is so expensive now.

Luna's water froze and James slipped on some ice trying to chop a place for Luna to drink. Luckily he didn't hurt himself.

That's it for today. Still lots of presents to wrap.

Names of Christ & "Come Follow Me"

My hero!
