When I opened the door to feed the kitties both Tom and Scooter came in. I went out to pour the food into Sammy's and Scooter's bowls and when I came back in Tom was chasing Scooter out of the bathroom. Tom rules, Scooter drools.
Kathy Crane and I visited with Chelsea MacArthur this morning. Chelsea came out of her house to meet us as we sat in the car. She said they had all been sick with stomach issues and it was very contagious. Chelsea looked exhausted. We had one of the best visits we have ever had with her. She opened up to us about her recent health issues. She had signs of M.S. but after doing some tests they decided that is not what she has. She has occasions when she has numbness in her neck and feet. She said she has stress related anxiety and it was especially bad when Jarred was in Alaska and she had the kids by herself. I need to find a way to serve Chelsea better.
Kathy gave Chelsea a goodie bag with cinnamon rolls, and pecan pretzel Rollos. She gave a bag to James & I and she gave me one to give to Kerri.
I took Kerri Halcomb to lunch today for her birthday. I told her we would go wherever she would like. She chose Bandido's Mexican food. Kerri's birthday was yesterday but she teaches school Monday - Thursday's. The Grombach's took Kerri to dinner last night at Charlie Clark's. She said she loves her steaks medium but because of her kidney transplant she has to have it well done. It ruins a little of the fun and celebration.
Kerri made a comment as we were talking about her mother's recent death. She said that many times the spirit has a difficult time leaving the body because the body is such a precious gift. She said it is too bad we abuse our bodies like we do. This gave me pause to think and realize I need to appreciate more the gift of having a body.
Millie Scott and JoAnn Patrick both came home from the hospital today. We are so grateful that they are doing better.
"It is vital that Latter-day Saints do not lose their understanding of the purpose of marriage and the value of children."
2 Nephi 25:13
Behold, they will crucify him; and after he is laid in a sepulchre for the space of three days he shall rise from the dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have seen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.
