Happy 20th Anniversary
Sheri & Ian
Our family has changed a bit since this picture
was taken. Jared was serving a mission in Ecuador
and couldn't make it to the party. It's great to see Ian's
grandparents and J.D. in this picture.
Mosiah 11:16-29. What does it mean when the Lord says He's a jealous God? We know that God has tender feelings for us...He weeps. Jealousy in this context means He has fervent feelings for us...He wants so much to bless us and for us to trust Him. Elder Holland spoke of how we should love God with all our heart, might, mind and strength, but that we should remember. ...God, our Father, loves us with all His heart, might, mind and strength too. He is possessive, caring, and loving.
Both James and I are trying to be obedient to what President Williams ask us to do regarding memorizing The Living Christ and the Family Proclamation. I got out my old study notebooks, because I tried before, and went to work on the first sentence in each document.
As I was getting ready to go to town with James, I had a feeling I should text Vickie and ask her if she would like to have her family's temple work done. To my joyful surprise she said yes. I had just been on Family Search's family tree and was thinking about Harold and Vickie when I sent this text. I ask her if Jeffrey had been to the temple and could help with the ordinances. She said she didn't know but would find out. A few minutes later she texted me back and said he was planning on going in late May or early June and would love to help with the family ordinances.
I can tell you that this made my day!
Our first stop in town was at Licano's. After all, today is Taco Tuesday. I had two chicken tacos with a side of rice and beans. Everything was yummy but I could only eat one taco. Too many chips and salsa.
I've never had a steak at Licano's.
I liked the chicken better than the beef tacos.
Rice and beans for lunch tomorrow!
James dropped me off at Walmart after lunch while he went to Home Depot. They only thing I really needed to get was some lemons for James hot lemon drinks that seem to help his laryngitis.
When I went to change from my sunglasses to my glasses, my glass case was not in my purse. I assumed I had left it at Licano's so I called. They had not found it. Now I was worried.
After shopping in Walmart with my sunglasses on, I told James about my call. He said we would go check when we were getting ready to go home. He had come to Home Depot to buy apple trees and they didn't have any. I suggested we go to Christopher's Nursery in Lakeside to see if they had any. They did. He got a two cherry trees, and two apple trees. One of the apple trees has four varities of apples, including Honey Crisp.
Before going home we stopped in at Licano's but they still had not found my glasses. As we were leaving we checked the parking lot, and there they were on the ground where we had parked. They had been run over but the frames were not broke and neither were the lenses. They are bent and I am going to wear my old glasses until Sheri can fix them for me. She tried to tell me how to do it on the phone, but I am not confident enough to do it. James says he can fix them, but I would rather wait for Sheri.
Back at home James planted his four trees. He put some spray on them to keep the animals away.
Is that snow on the ground?
I made a big salad tonight for dinner. James was still hungry so he had some more of my chicken and rice dish. After dinner we read from "The Magician's Nephew" and then watched an episode of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered."
