Up at 5:19 am. I went from the worst night ever to the best night ever. I only got up once and I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I love my 'cot' mattress! I did take some Lyrica which probably helped. Thank You Heavenly Father for a good nights rest!
Another tender mercy was in Elder Held's talk about spiritual/temporal learning and focusing our eyes, one eye representing temporal learning and the other spiritual. I wrote it all out in my "Spiritually Defining Moments" journal.
Michael at 'Just Whistle' is our refrigerator repairman. He says it's going to cost $467.00 to order the part and repair the refrigerator. We gave him $400 cash and said we would pay the rest when he came back with the part.
James went to the dump today. I gathered all of the outside garbages for him and then watered my flowers, vincas and mums.
Kim and Brian got here around 2 p.m. I was telling Kim how much I loved my new chocolate drink, Perk. James heard me and said, "It sounds like you are addicted." I lost it and slugged him in the arm and went off about how negative that was. REPENT! (We did apologize to each other a little later.)
James got his Amazon order today and he finally had something to smile about.
As Kim and I were visiting, the topic of Sheri came up. We are both worried about her. She told Kim earlier: "It's been a crappy week."
Brian has diverticulitis. He is miserable. He came with the idea that he would rest better here than he would if he stayed at home.
Kim and I go out on the deck and enjoy the view and the sunset.
I finished my 10,000 steps by 5:30. I also finish my puzzle, take a picture, and then put it away.
I wrote to Joshua: "Joshua, you are breaking my heart." I said this because I have texted him several times and he has never answered me. After I texted him this message he answered today's scripture question.
I thanked Laura for my birthday card. Darrel & Trina thank me for their anniversary card.
Sheri, Addy, and I are listening to the conference talk by Elder Larry Lawrence, "What Lack I Yet?" I asked the Lord this question and got an answer. Now that my knees are not hurting I need to kneel for prayer and I need to stop being prideful.
Erik spoke with James today and said the company we bought the Razr engine from sent the wrong engine. He is sending it back and they will have to send the right one. Just another delay in a two year series of delays.
In all of the excitement of the day, having Kim and Brian here, James and I forgot to attend Andy & Lily Wilhelm's wedding reception at George Wallace's place. I texted Sandra to apologize and told her I would bring them their card to church tomorrow.
I get to sleep on the 'cloud' again tonight!
"When we exercise faith in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, we receive clear assurance of Their reality and of Their concern for us."

D&C 88:125
And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace.
Darrel for his birthday.
