Here is a little introduction to this week's "Come Follow Me" lesson:
This week's chapters unveil Joseph's journey from favored son to slave, prisoner, and eventually, a leader in Egypt. His unwavering faith amidst betrayal, false accusations, and imprisonment exemplifies resilience. Through Joseph's story, we witness how God orchestrates events for a greater purpose, turning trials into triumphs. Reflect on how challenges in your life might be shaping you for future blessings.
James and I made a trip to town today. We left before 10 and drove to the Show Low park walking trail. We walked for around 40 minutes. It felt good to be outside in the fresh air and not having to worry about tripping over rocks or cinders. We had lunch at Culver's where I had my chicken cashew salad and James had a pot roast sandwich and a chocolate ice cream cone. He meant to get a waffle cone but made the mistake of saying cake cone. I told him to go get another one. This time he came back with vanilla custard/ice cream and a waffle cone. I had a few licks of both cones. They were both delicious. I lick and James bites. I'm not in to biting ice cream.
I texted Tina Allen while we were at Culver's to tell her James said he would go with me to walk in the park. I also told her I loved the story she shared in Relief Society yesterday and that it was the highlight of the lesson for me. Here is the text that I got back from her: "Karen, if Jim can't make it and you want to go, let me know. I thought about it yesterday and I would like to walk with you. Maybe once a week. It would be great to spend some time with you."
I said: "I would love that too Tina, you are one of my favorite people!"
She said: "As you are one of mine."
James is still working on the bid for Applegate's. He has not received back all the information he needs so he is going to go to Home Depot and do some figuring on his own. He dropped me off at Walmart. I did some shopping and tried to pick up his time-release Tramadol. The attendant said they hadn't filled the prescription because the insurance wasn't covering the cost. I ask how much it was and he said $58. Never mind. He said he would send it back to the doctor and tell him of the problem and see if he had another prescription to use in it's place.
Charlie is kicking my bootie when it comes to reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It has 17 chapters and she finished the entire book today. I am still on chapter 6. I must read faster!
Harry Potter.
I think she is a speed reader!
James said there was a cat fight out on the porch this evening. He said Tom walked up and slapped Blackie/Scooter in the face. Scooter, that's what James calls him, never backs away nor does he fight back, he just stands there and takes it. Sammy came over to get in on the action and that's when James broke it up because Sammy goes for the neck and he is worried about Scooter not being able to breathe. James likes Scooter because he is more friendly than Sammy.
Our A.S.K. talk for this week is one by President D. Todd Christofferson, "Our Relationship with God" from the April 2022 General Conference.
"It can change the course of our lives to see our circumstances through the lens of God's eternal plan."

Genesis 39:2
And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
