Lilies symbolize belief.
These flowers were the ones I got for my mother's grave.
Jesus is the Balm of Gilead. His is the soothing ointment that heals the wounds of the brokenhearted.
"He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. (Isaiah 53:4)
" Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
(Psalm 41:9)
James, Terry, and Dave left at 5 this morning to go fishing at Saguaro Lake. They took the boat that Yoshi gave to Dave.
The lake is so beautiful, especially early in
the morning.
The scenery was nice. James got several
pictures of this bald eagle. Terry was the only one
who caught a fish though.
James texted me on his way home so I was ready when he got here for our Taco Tuesday date. This is where we went:
A very good choice! The food was delicious!
James actually had three different kinds of tacos:
fish, shredded beef, and carnitas. They were all great.
He said he didn't think he could find any tacos better than Elmer's,
but these were just as good.
Last week when I was looking for some decorative items for the house Trina told me to try Home Goods and she told me there was one by Sprouts, so I went there today. I found a centerpiece for the dining room table and one for the coffee table in the living room.
The great thing is they only cost $25 each so I was able to stay within my budget of $50!
Did my weekly shopping at Walmart and as is my custom on shopping day I bought a roasted chicken for dinner. This time I made the mistake of getting a garlic roasted one and it was so strong it's the first thing you notice when you come in. Next time, no garlic!
There was a "gathering" here this afternoon: Michael, Joe, Amanda, and Dallin. The boys were practicing for an upcoming performance at Sozo. It was quite noisy. Amanda sat on the couch and watched cartoons and played with Holly.
This evening James and I went to Darrel & Trina's for a FHE. I prepared a little something from the Friend about the last week of Jesus's life. The three oldest kids all participated. James made friends with Lola and I talked to Addy about finishing the Book of Mormon. She said her favorite scripture is Mosiah 2:17. I gave all three kids their own Book of Mormon's and both Addy and Rowan are committed to read. It was a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Too bad I didn't take more pictures.
When he first came in Lola didn't want anything to do with James. By the time we left she was begging to go to him.
We finished two books today, "A Lady's Honor", and The Book of Mormon. Tomorrow we will start reading the Book of Mormon again.
