Canada in the Fall
Sheri's Thought:
I listened to a talk by L. Tom Perry where he powerfully spoke about obedience. He admonished, "Disobedience to the Lord's commandments will always deprive us of His blessings. The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change. They are immutable and unchanging. Men and women receive their agency as a gift from God, but their liberty and, in turn, their eternal happiness come from obedience to His laws. As Alma counseled his errant son Corianton, "Wickedness never was happiness." (Alma 41:10)
I slept in this morning. It was difficult to get out of bed because my feet hurt. I took some Tramadol and settled into my place on the couch to watch last night's episode of "Dancing with the Stars."
As I was getting ready for our lunch date with Dennis, Denise, Harold, and Vickie, my visiting teaching companion, Lorraine Tieman called and said she had appointments for today starting at 11 am. I reminded her that I couldn't go this morning so she said she would try to change them to Thursday. She can't go tomorrow.
We met my brothers and their wives at Persnikkity's around 11 am. We so enjoyed our lunch and visit with them. James said his Philly cheesesteak was the best he's ever had! I am so frustrated that I didn't take a picture! James brought the big picture of my dad roping a calf with Mr. Yellowhair, painted by Yellowhair. James wanted to give it to Harold or Dennis. Dennis ended up taking it. He thought Kyle might like it or he would find a place for it in his house. We said our goodbye's and headed for home. I saw Gail Butler as we were leaving and she gave me a hug. She is someone I knew in high school and is married to Gary Butler. She is also Chris Butler's mother. Chris is married to Janny St. Onge.
While we were in town we went to the bank and then to Walmart to pick up a few groceries.
Back at home James works on his lesson while I watch more TV and rest. It is a gorgeous day, with the high around 72.
I got a text this afternoon from our realtor, Jen MacLay. The house closed today, a day early! It really is happening. I am happy and a little sad at the same time.
I really needed this relaxing down day!
A Hallmark movie this evening with James.
