"Open the Heavens for Help"
President Russell M. Nelson
"From that small group assembled on April 6, 1830, has come a global organization of more than 16 million members. The good this Church accomplishes around the world to alleviate human suffering and provide uplift for humankind is widely known. But its prime purpose is to help men, women, and children follow the Lord Jesus Christ, keep His commandments, and qualify for the greatest of all blessings - that of eternal life with God and their loved ones."

I am kind, loving, and faithful. Something I am grateful for: My computer worked well without any glitches. A grandson serving a mission and his mother who gives him excellent advice. I am also grateful for a husband who is so helpful at home. He doesn't mind fixing himself something to eat and he makes us tea three times a day. Citrus Sunshine in the morning, Peach after lunch, and Chamomile in the evening while we are watching our show. Thank you honey.
James's morning routine when he gets up. Walks over and gives me a kiss. Starts our Citrus Sunshine tea. Goes out to feed Luna who whinnies when she sees him and checks his mousetraps.
I forgot to mention something that happened yesterday. I got a call from a sister in our ward who delivers meals for the Salvation Army. She said she had some extra meals today and was at Camrie's, which is close by, and would we like a couple. I said that was very kind of her to think of us and yes we would love a couple of meals. Candi's daughter Marie delivered the meals. When I thanked her she asked if we would like to be on the list to receive them every week. I told her I felt guilty doing that because we really weren't in need but if they had extra meals we would be take them. Candi has very little knowledge of the doctrines of the gospel. She is the one who will not let her daughter do baptism's for the dead because she doesn't think people should be forced to be baptized. Candi does know how to serve. She delivers Salvation Army meals every Sunday. She helped to make over 400 masks to deliver to the hospital in Whiteriver. She feeds the missionaries and the firemen on a regular basis. We are grateful to have her in our ward.
Sheri called this morning after she spoke with Ben. She said she has been concerned about his attitude lately. He loves missionary work and is totally involved in contacting and teaching. The problem is he has been critical of the AP's and his mission president, saying things like, it would work better if they did things this way. Sheri told him she was concerned about this attitude and told him the importance of supporting his leaders and not being critical of them. She asked him to think back to when he was an AP and how it felt to be criticized or have someone ignore your counsel. I told Sheri she should be a counselor. Her advice was excellent and she was truly inspired. She agreed that she was inspired as to what to say and the ideas just flowed. Later she got a message from Ben which said: "Thanks mom, I needed to hear that." I love Ben because he is so tender hearted and teachable!
When James went to check the mail today he brought me back a package. I always love receiving packages! This one was the other butter dish I ordered. Now I have an ivory colored one and a black one. James and I eat a lot of toast with butter and sometimes jam. Here is our "toast center."
The napkins are to keep from getting crumbs on the counter.
The black butter dish has its' own knife.
This morning I did my blog and worked on my book business. I actually ordered one book. I have not ordered any for about a month. But the 60 books I ordered in the month before really paid off.
This afternoon I paid Lambson Construction bills and paid off my credit card. Paying off the credit card felt good. On Saturday I paid off the business credit card. It is nice to have the money to pay your bills and have some left over.
While James was going for his Luna ride I studied the gospel and took a shower. We watched "Lark Rise to Candleford" before going to bed.
Laura's Prologue:
"A broken heart feels to its' young barer uniquely painful. The sight of another's happiness only makes it worse. But eventually comes the knowledge that our own experiences, seldom unique, everyone's happiness is fragile. All expectations can be dashed."
