I hope my readership (3) can bear with me as I share these thoughts today. My apology if sometimes my posts are mostly "scriptural." My days come and go and I begin them with looking to what the Lord has to say initially. It makes my day. I ponder those things as I read and like today share the one or ones that stand out in my mind and heart. So, for all intents in purposes, if it is boring, I offer my regrets in your behalf. I have none here.
Mosiah 5:15 Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of him who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen.
My other greatest joy, besides the Lord is my children. They and their children especially. As I go about my day I pray for them and desire that their lives be filled with the Spirit of the Lord. My service is ofttimes in service to others.
I went visiting teaching to one of the sisters I assigned myself which I go see alone. We have amazing conversation centered on the message. I am most grateful for the opportunity I have to visit with her and make sure she is doing well. She is an outstanding person who serves in the Primary and loves her calling and works very diligently in it. I do have a regular district and companion to visit teach three other sisters monthly. It keeps me busy. But I love it.
I also visited another ward member and gave them some of my Soft gingerbread cookies. They were pleased and delighted and had a nice short visit.
Later in the evening I went to have dinner with son, Hank, Lori and their children. It was two of their birthdays K7, K9 who celebrated together for the sake of convenience with doubling their birthday celebrations. Having that time with them also is one of my joys as well.
However, there was another birthday grandson, Adam, who also had his birthday so I went late to his house to wish him well. He was so excited his dad had given him a new fishing rod for his tenth birthday. He had already been out on Saturday with his dad to catch a foot and a half (maybe) inch long fish. His smile was big in the photo his dad took of his special catch.
So, there I have it. My day spent in church and feasted upon the Spirit and fed very well. Sunday is the high light of my week, and blesses me not only spiritually but temporally and mentally. I take time to read in between getting ready to go to bed and go to sleep.
