My Lovely Mother

 

 May 5, 1948 In a hotel in Europe.

Isn't she just beautiful?

LIFE and NEIGHBORS

 Driving home from the gym today, I drove by Jessica Stout and Tanya Conley.

I can't really explain it, but as I drove away, I was filled with so much love for both of them and for Jennifer Miller, who had ridden by on her bike.

It was such a fleeting moment, but I felt the LOVE of the neighbors in that brief moment and it made me so GRATEFUL.

FOR MY BODY!

 I'm so grateful for my body.  I can still see, hear, move - well, a little.  HAHA

But, having mobility is such a great gift and I am so thankful to Heavenly Father for this marvelous body.  I also realize that have what so many people do not have, and it makes me VERY GRATEFUL!

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for this gift of a body!

 

In January, Allen put all the gift cards in a box and HID them when we went on a home exchange.

When we came home, we looked exactly where he THOUGHT he had put them - in the shed.  

NO GIFT CARDS.

I prayed about them because I knew they would total up to quite a bit.

Nothing, nada, no way, couldn't find them.

Yesterday, pulling out a drawer in the bathroom while looking for toothpaste, he found them.

As you can see, it is quite a haul.  And, I am SO VERY GRATEFUL!
