Thinking of My Blessings from the Church

To serve - the opportunity to go Tuesday mornings until Christmas and bag fruits and vegetables at the Bishop's Storehouse. It gives me a very good feeling to know I am helping others. The Church projects are always first class.

To prepare - Sat. morning was our monthly Preparedness Meeting. The topic was "Emergency Sources of Heat, Cooking, Light and Body Warmth". Excellent meeting. It is a blessing to have the Lord's counsel through our Prophets and leaders.

For help - Bro. Tomlinson is always asking me if there is a project the young men can help me with. Saturday afternoon about eight boys raked leaves and roto tilled them into the garden soil. Sometimes I have looked out the window and thought, "I don't have the energy to do all that." They made short work of it and it was fun to be out with them. You could call that the "Power of the Priesthood". They are great young men!!!

A New Blog Look.

This plaid looks like a flannel fabic I would purchase. It would be a tied quilt with extra batting. One to keep a family member warm, to comfort them, to speed their healing when sick.

Thank you Julie for the new look.

My Continuous Question Is -

If I moved, do I really want to take these old books with me? I am cleaning the basement. Today's project is under the stairs. So far so good. I am moving right along.

Here Comes November. We gather to remember and be thankful.

I changed the calendar this morning. Christi put pictures from last Thanksgiving at Craig and Liz's home. Life has been good to all the family since then. There have been some bumps in the road, but with support of family and our faith we move forward.

This November 1st was a special day with both Lynzie (Texas) and Logan (Vernal) being baptized. With age my vision seems to be sharpening and I see these beautiful grandchildren fulfilling a special work upon this earth because of their home environment, teachings of their parents, and living close to our Heavenly Father.

So Much To Be Thankful for.

Come, ye thankful people, come; Raise the song of harvest home.
All is safely gathered in Ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker doth provide For our wants to be supplied.
Come to God's own temple, come; Raise the song of harvest home

All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto his praise to yield,
Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear.
Lord of harvest, grant that we Wholesome grain and pure may be.

Come, Ye Thankful People. Hymn #94
