Happy 28th Birthday Alexander! I hope it was a great one and that you were surprised at the party that your girlfriend Jazmine planned for you.
The children of Israel murmur and the Lord sends manna and quail everyday to take care of their hunger. God also promises to deliver us every day.
I listened to Emily and Hilary Weeks on Inklings today talk about President Oaks' talk, "Alive in Christ."
Promise: The resurrection gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.
Quote: "Let us follow Him by using the language and methods of peacemakers.
I got a sweet text from my friend Rosie Lauritzen today:
Rosie: Karen for some reason you are on my mind this morning...is everything okay with you?
Me: Rosie, you are the sweetest! I have been struggling and had a bad day yesterday but I am feeling better today. Thank you for checking on me. I feel loved!
Rosie: You definitely ARE loved....if there is anything at ALL that you need...a ride, some housework...a few meals, please let me know!!!
I love and care about you.
Me: Rosie, I love you so much! You have such a kind and generous heart and you are the epitome of Christlike ministering. Thank you!
Rosie: I love you too Karen...you are a TRUE example for me!! PLEASE feel free to ask if you need any little thing.
Me: You are a dear friend Rosie. I treasure your friendship!
Rosie: You, too!
This text from my friend lifted my spirits.
James did office work this morning. Something about the Landings job. This afternoon he went to town to get parts to fix the well pump. The first fix didn't last but the second one did.
James got a call from a realtor today. She thinks she can sell our home for around 2 million. James explained to her that he was in the middle of some upkeep projects and the house wouldn't be ready to sell until next spring. She said she could send some handymen out to help. I reminded him that we could not sell until we had talked with Kim & Brian again to see how serious they are about moving here.
The book I am reading now: "The Dowry of Lady Eliza" by Anita Stansfield.
Today's Tender Mercies: Rosie Lauritzen's text, Inklings, the call from the realtor, and the fact that James was able to fix the pump.
Happy Birthday Alex!
