Lots to be thankful for! :o)

Wow! Here we are in May already. Before you know it it will be Christmas again. ARGH - where does the time go.

I'm getting pretty good at staying to all 3 hours of church. I love Sunday School, Brother Anderson is the best teacher. I always feel like I'm learning something from him. It has been a long time since I have loved SS. The testimonies were wonderful today, as they always are. There is no particular message that anyone had, but it sure makes you happy for your own testimony and the things you are thankful for. I can't imagine a world without the gospel or family. I love the feeling of comfort that comes from the Lord. He is always there and knows our needs. I have a good friend who never had children and now she takes care of her mom, but who will love and take care of her when she is at that stage in her life. Kids are wonderful and bring a lot of joy into my life. I love to hear of their successes and feel very sad when they are fighting the challenges of life. I miss my older grandkids. It is really strange to know they are not just up the street. It sounds like they are doing really good, but still miss them.

We are down to 18 1/2 days until we leave for New York. I told Tim he has to be sure that Dean knows that I'm gma and that I'll spoil him while I'm out there. I can't wait to get reacquainted with him and to meet the new Noah. And oh to see Lorna! It has been forever since we saw her and it will be a wonderful time together. I hope it warms us and stays warm so I don't freeze - I'm not sure I can pack enough if it stays so weird weathered.

Remember all your blessings and the challenges will be ok. Depend on the Lord to direct you in all your decisions and know that he knows your challenges too. I'm so glad to have everyone I know in my life. Thank you for loving and caring.
