Thankful Tuesday: for MUSIC

Since housing the missionaries for the 2 1/2 years I have played the radio (on my fav. country channel!) very rarely. The mission rules are: Missionaries can only listen to Mormon Tabernacle Choir or Gospel music. Especially since the Elders have been in our home we listened to this music constantly. The Boys have to always have music going. So when the Elders left our home. I thought WOW now I can listen to the radio. And somehow I couldn't do it in my home. Kinda felt wrong!!! The Spirit is different. I understand how the Elders have a hard time getting back to the world after they serve 2 years. I have a hard time listening to the radio unless its on a gospel channel. Oh, But I watch IDOL! So I guess that music on Tues. and Wednesday is playing on TV. I live in the Bible belt of the United States. We have AWESOME Gospel music playing on the radio always. I remember when I was looking for a home in Louisiana and our realtor didn't ever play any other channel than gospel music. She was so inspiring to me. A good example. I thought I was doing good to only play gospel music on the Sabbath. I have friends that only play gospel music in there cars as they travel. I get it! Not that I won't listen to any other music. I love the people I'm around. No one (no matter what their religion) keeps silent. They ALL openly praise his name. Not something I grew up with. They make a difference to me. Continually THANKFUL that we had the missionaries around us. Their spirit increased my spirit and their love of the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST increased my Love. FOR THIS I AM THANKFUL!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, MY FRIENDS!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! XO

My Prayer for my Mom on Mothers Day!

If roses grow in Heaven,

Lord please pick a bunch for me,

Place them in my Mothers Arms

and tell her they're from me,

Tell her that I love and miss her.

And when she turns to smile,

Place a kiss upon her cheek

and hold her for a while.

Because remembering her is easy,

I do it everyday.

But there's an ache within my heart

that will never go away...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY/MOTHERS DAY TO MY MOTHER!

It has been 12 years since my sweet mother passed away from cancer. Today we would be celebrating in Salt Lake City. Shopping and having lunch at the ZCMI center. Even the ZCMI center is gone. Her favorite lunch spot. May is a tough month. I miss my mom. But I know that I was blessed to have her even as long as I did and I will see her again. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY To the WORLDS GREATEST MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER AND FRIEND. HUGS AND KISSES GO TO HEAVEN.
