Great Times

I've had a great amount of time today to just reflect. I know its dangerous when I think too much...but, it was all good. I have so many blessings and reasons to praise God for his many tender mercies. We had the opportunity to have Jed & Nanci and family live with us for a month while they remodeled their house. Trevor and Jed did all the work themselves and so we all tried to pitch in here and there in whatever ways we could. It is not finished, but they are back in it and when it is finished it will be nice and a place they can be proud of. I am very grateful for two things: 1. that Heavenly Father gave children to people when they are young and 2. that it is natural for all of use to want our own homes. But, there is a third thing I learned. It is that we can do hard things and actually be quite happy doing it. It was rewarding to have another female in the house to talk to and collaborate with and I loved time with little Drew. He and I became quite close. He would even cry when I went out the door. I sure do love my Grandkids, but I am so glad they have good parents who love them and care for them. Dan & Tarah came last weekend and we enjoyed the other half of our grandkids. Each one has a special place in our hearts.

This week I will be preparing temporally and spiritually for one of Heavenly Father's servants and his wife to stay with us. Hopefully we can make their stay with us comfortable and peaceful and that we can all be edified by their visit and our Stake Conference. I can't believe its March already. I love spring!!!
