Thankful Tuesday: People who cross my path.

This morning I've been mowing over what I am thankful for. Well.... here are my thoughts-- a broken record again! -- this is it!

How lucky am I

to have acquaintances

who make me smile

everyday.

Who remind me,

Life would not be the same without them.

For the people that have cross my path

and bring

SUNSHINE

to each day.

(including my Facebook Friends :)

Last week I met:

Cassandra (who has two beautiful new babies boys)

It is so fun to meet strangers that the second you see them you feel they are your family!

For Brooke (a new college student)

I am amazed at their loving Parents/Friends who would seek people of the same faith to look out after them.

This week: For Morgan, her life gives me courage to keep on keepin' on.

Sweet, Sweet girl who has a positive attitude and Smile that is contagious.

How comforting that no matter where you go you can count on a

Safe Haven

With in your church.

and of course

I love blogging!

Oklahoma City Oklahoma LDS (Mormon) Temple - Mormons

Last Saturday I was able to go to the Oklahoma temple. One of 146 around the world. Such a beautiful place to be. You will never get any PEACE at another place in the world. As I was in the session I had this thought, " WE ARE MEANT TO HAVE JOY" I can only say that this was the calm before the storm. It's hard to find JOY when people around you have such trials . The Joy that I've found this week was in Service to Others. . . Time does not heal all wounds (my personal view) but looking for another one in need- helps. This just in from my niece Brittany W . I LOVE IT: "It has been said, "time heals all wounds." I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone." Rose Kennedy Thanks Britt, Exactly What I believe!

Sunday Will Come

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHOUT TO MY GRANDMA

OOps I always get these birthdays confused. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!

Wishin' I could blog about nothing...

Another tragedy in our circle of friends. Prayers for Destiny's family. Heart breaking that her Father passed away. Has it ever been a hard summer for family and friends. It's has been tragic for so many of my dear friends. I am wishin' I could be blogging about the sunny day's and mowing the lawn, or the joy of eating corn on cob until I'm sick and cookie dough. For my dearest friends the world has stopped. Again on Sunday, studying the stories in the bible. This week about Eliza and Elisha, I wanted to cry uncontrollably. Oh wait a minute, I did. Especially when we sang the song "I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR" in church, I couldn't get through it this week. Thinking of those who have lost their fathers/husbands and knowing that they would be pleading to God to 'stand thou near by' and remembering sitting next to my own Father 1 week before his heart surgery. He was telling me if something happened to him, he was ready to die. I remember weeping telling him not to leave me. So in the scriptures when Elisha was pleading for his father not to go. I feel I understand. It's something when the death of someones loved ones makes you reflect on a similar experience. Prayers for my friends right now. We all have our own grief. No one can know what each individual faces. Thank goodness for the knowledge that Heaven is real, we will see our loved ones again. Thank goodness we have had people in our lives that we LOVE so much. What a blessing.
