1. Spiritual and temporal blessings come into our lives as we live the law of tithing.
2. A grateful person is rich in contentment.
3. Do more with less, prioritize and simplify and take proper care of the material possessions we already have.
4. Change our own circumstances rather than expecting our circumstances to be changed by someone or something else.
5. When we plead for relief rom physical, mental, and spiritual difficulties, He may increase our resolve and resilience.
6. Honest payment of tithing is an important step in personal sanctification.
I made another trip to town today, don't ask me why, maybe I was lonely. I saw Mary Swift. I always look for her when I'm in Walmart. There was a little snow again today. On the way home I stopped at the Jalapeno Cafe and got a sweet pork salad. It was quite good.
Back at home I saw a herd of about 10 elk walking across our back yard. I was afraid to open the door to take a picture because I thought I would spook them. While talking on the phone with Sheri I also saw a bluebird. I took a picture through the window.
Sorry he wasn't looking at me.
Tonight Analee and I were the only Young Women leaders at Mutal. Diana wanted the girls to cut out hearts for our New Beginnings program.
It's blurry, but it's the only picture I got so I'm keeping it.
I let the girls have the Krispy Kreme donuts I bought from Trenda. They ate the entire dozen. After they were finished making hearts, most of them went out to play basketball. Shelly went into the primary room to practice the piano. She just started taking lessons.
Trina sent out a group text to Sheri, Kim, Tricia and I to tell us that she's having a girl. She told me to tell Stacy since she doesn't have her number. After telling us the baby was a girl she sent the following text:
"Also there is a cyst on the baby's brain that could be a normal variant
but could also be a sign of a fatal defect so I have to go back in 2 weeks
for another ultra sound so pray for the baby."
That is so scary, and we will definitely be praying. Trina wants to name the baby Mae. Although Nannie's name was Myrtle Mae she always went by Mae, so I am pretty happy with that choice.
