"That They May See"
Sister Bonnie L. Cordon
"By virtue of the Restoration of His gospel, we can be filled with the light of our Savior. However, that light is not meant for you and me alone. Jesus Christ has called upon us to "let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." I have come to love the phrase "that they may see." It is an earnest invitation from the Lord to be more intentional about helping others see the path and thereby come unto Christ."

I am a child of God, blessed, and thankful.
I dropped James off at the Howard's around 8:00 this morning and then I went grocery shopping at the Walmart in Taylor. I know, I already went shopping yesterday. I am fixing mashed potatoes for the boys tonight. I knew I had a bag of potatoes in the pantry but when I checked them they were a little mushy. So here I am, on my way to Taylor on a beautiful spring morning.
Shopping at the Walmart in Taylor is a much nicer experience than shopping at the one in Show Low. It is not too crowded and they aren't out of everything.
I got my 5lb bag of yellow potatoes and a few other items. More than I had planned and I spent more money than I had planned. I got myself a t-shirt, some tan pants, and a pair of shoes. I got six frozen Healthy Choice meals and some garlic bread, a couple of notebooks, some shakes and various other items I don't recall right now. My trip would have been a complete success except I forgot to check and see if they had any Citrus Sunshine tea.
James worked at the Howard's for the use of his truck this morning. He needs to pick up bathroom fixtures and make a trip to the valley. The part for his truck is still not here. He told Tom he would work for him and fill his truck up if he could take it to the valley. Of course Tom, the nice guy that he is, said yes.
Shopping in the morning is the best time to shop around here but it kind of messes up the rest of my day. I did not work on my books today. Today is my friend Pam's birthday. I met her at the church parking lot at 2:00 this afternoon. Pam is a very careful about always wearing a mask in public so I put on the pink mask Catherine made me. We talked in the parking lot for awhile and I gave her a card and her gift, the book "Grace Where You Are" by Emily Freeman. I hope she likes it.
I struggled to get 10,000 steps today. My feet were hurting. The boys just hung out here at home today and rode Luna this evening when James got home. The boys went fishing at Sheep's Crossing but didn't catch anything. They said it was beautiful there and they did not see anyone else. That's the advantage of going out in the middle of the week. Alex loves to play games. They played Five Crown's, Scattergories, Banana Grams, Chess, Settlers of Caitan, and they wanted to play Hearts with grandpa but I think that will have to be tomorrow night because Grandpa is tired and he is getting up early tomorrow to go to the valley. While they were outside riding the horse Alex made the comment, "let's see if we can find a rattlesnake". He picked up a board up by the hill and, lo and behold, there was a rattlesnake within 4 inches of his hand. The snake crawled in to a hole. Alex says they are going back tomorrow to either re-locate it or get rid of it in other ways. I told him to please be careful. I want the snake gone but not at his expense. Lola and Ruby will be here this weekend and I don't want that snake around when they are here.
Luna got new shoes today. Our friend Wayne Todd came out and did the job.
I had all of my part of the dinner ready by 6:30 like James said. He didn't come in to prepare the steaks until 6:30. It didn't take long for them to cook because the boys all wanted their's medium rare. James and I both wanted medium. For ribeye steaks they weren't as tender as I had wanted but the boys thought they were great. There was one steak left and Max asked if he could have it. I told him he could. He likes to eat his steak like a sandwich in a roll. I made Rhodes rolls today. We had steak, mashed potatoes, asparagus, Bush beans, and rolls. Afterwards Alex made brownies for dessert.
I did my gospel study this evening but didn't quite finish. James wanted to go to bed before 10. It was 9:45 when my head hit the pillow.
