Elder Aroldo B. Cavalcante
"Whether we are well-known or forgotten, trials will inevitably come to each one of us. As we turn to the Savior, He can 'consecrate our afflictions for our gain' and help us respond to our trials in a way that facilitates our spiritual progression."
I got up at 5:00 and fed Tom. He doesn't let me sleep in. I read from my book, "Experiencing the Heart of Jesus" and said my daily prayers. I read from the Book of Mormon, and Come Follow Me with James and we had family prayer together.
James had been asking me to make him Harvest Nut & Grain pancakes for breakfast. I use an IHOP copycat recipe and he loves it. This one called for finely ground oatmeal flour. Next time I need to grind it a little finer.
After I finished my two blogposts for the day I decided to make some homemade spaghetti sauce. I have a pound of hamburger in the refrigerator that needs to be used so I decided to make some spaghetti. The sauce turned out great. When I asked James if he was going to eat any he said: "Oh, I thought that was for you and you were going to make me some beans." I told him that beans take a night and a day to make and I would make him some soon.
Chuck Crane called me this evening I asked if we had a colored printer. He emailed their family Christmas photo because their printer isn't working right. The first photo I ran off was too big. Kathy only wants it to be 4x6 to go at the bottom of her Christmas letter. I ran another one off for her.
This evening James and I visited the MacArthur's. We told them about James's brain bleed. Jarred said, "You are the luckiest, unlucky person that I know. I gave the kids their new lanterns that actually light up and they seemed pleased. We admired their Christmas tree. It's a blue spruce they went and cut down in the forest. They have it decorated in a Grinch theme with huge ornaments.
Jarred had an entire trailer full of wood and he invites us to take as much as we want. We thanked him but said we had grandson's coming up this weekend who are going to cut wood for us.
I asked Boone, their two year old boy, if I could talk to him, and he said "No." At least he is honest. He did end up talking to me. He and his sister Scotlyn both have birthdays this month. Scotlyn will be 5 and Boone will be 3. Peyton is 7. Their dog Ernie chased our car when we left.
Rowan is here and he helped James finish hanging the Christmas stockings by the fireplace.
I watched a Christmas movie in the bedroom with Tom.
watching Tom.
