It was a good sermon about Peter....
BUT, I love having the Priesthood and the Sacrament. And, feeling the Spirit of the Holy Ghost and the wonderful members of our ward and the feelings I get whenever I go to church.
And, I'm so thankful that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
When it came to the daughter department, I was so very blessed.
And, I am beyond grateful for both of them.
Recently on a Sunday morning, I was in the biggest FUNK. I can't really describe all the issues that were bothering me.
I had said something to a grandson that I totally regret...I can't get it out of my mind. I feel so terrible about it.
Three young women of our acquaintance are dealing with extremely serious health issues and it is so heartbreaking. I want to help, but I feel helpless about it. What can I do?
And, family issues were in that thread also.
By the end of the day, I had overcome some of my feelings and was trying to rely on the Saviour and his Atonement to get me sorted out.
So, all those feelings and trying to work thru them, made me realize how grateful I am for The Plan of Salvation, the Saviour, the Gospel, and my own life.
Life is hard, but it is also GOOD, and I am
VERY GRATEFUL.
(Just as i was finishing writing this, I got a text from one of our children. It was so very sad and overwhelming to me. I'm stunned, saddened, grief stricken and heartbroken. WHY, WHY, WHY is life such a challenge? My heart aches for this family, for their life-long struggle with this issue. I must be able to use the Atonement.....and also to not worry about what others may think. Help me, and them, oh dear God.)
Kristi and Bobby...
Both very sick with covid.
But, I am grateful they are getting better and that we don't have it.
Also, on Monday night,
I HAD ANOTHER FALL....
right on the back of my head on cement!....
It was terrible - another trip to the emergency room...no blood this time. And, I didn't lose consciousness.
And, I didn't have a brain bleed.
I am so thankful I didn't break anything or have any long-lasting repercussions.
AND< I AM SO THANKFUL!
What a glorious Easter.
Very low key. Nothing spectacular happened, but it was a weekend filled with music, friends, and Gospel teachings. and great feelings of LOVE.
I felt great deep feelings of love for the Saviour.
I felt great appreciation for the music I listened to.
I felt great love and appreciation for the speakers in CHURCH.
Easter Sunday; just turned 78. IT was a wonderful day, and I am so thankful.
