Long day... and still more to go.  My kind act of the day is to take my teenager to the movies at 10pm.  I'm tired, so it is a little bit of a sacrifice.  However, got to make memories where you can and while you can.  In some ways, we are all each other has. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 255

OMG!  The chaos has begun.  I am now in the longest 8 day week of my year.  Yesterday I swear I had a nervous break down... it was most likely pure exhaustion.  Through all the chaos, through every road block I hit, through every "fire" I put out, I tried to be kind.  However, the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 253 and 254

Today I took a few minutes and moved the water around my yard and pulled a few weeds in my garden.  Everyone should have a garden.  Grow a garden... even if it is only in a couple of pots on a balcony.  Fruits and veggies and herbs!  Think of all the yummy things you can… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 252

OMG... It's a warm day. I have to admit, I am wilting here. It made me think of all the animals I have at home... the plants in my yard and garden. Be kind... let your pet be in the shade. Put out plenty of water. Water your plants well in the morning, and maybe… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 251

Wow!  Long day.  However, a very good day.  Today I was patient with kids using power tools.  Today I shared my testimony.  Today I got my daughter a treat.  Today I found a phone number for my son.  Today I went to a church service to support and to serve.  Today I taught people concepts. … Continue reading #bethelight- Day 250

Yesterday We were on the road.  We got up early and drove over the river, through the woods, over the mountain pass to celebrate the life of my grandma.  A couple of nice things, and great kindnesses occurred throughout the day.  Aunts, uncles, cousin, and siblings were everywhere.  Everyone helped out.  Everyone chatted and laughed… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 248 and 249

Gosh!  Long days, with CET in my life.  Yesterday's act of kindness was actually for me.  It seems like I never have enough time to get things done during CET.  Yesterday was one of those days.  I had run out of time and still needed something for my work night.  So I called my friend… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 246 and 247

Wow... yesterday was a long day.  I left the house at 7 am and didn't return until 11 pm.  It was a frustrating day too.  It seemed like every little thing I did, every place I attempted to be, I just missed by seconds or minutes.  Each store took longer than I expected, even if… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 244 and 245

Today was a good day doing missionary related service.  Today was email day.  I was able to "chat" with my missionary for a little while.  Then, the sister missionaries in my ward needed somewhere to do their laundry.  I told them to come to my house... and they did.  Then, I was teaching a voice… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 243

Today was a nice day of church service, family time and a little relaxation on my back porch.  We also fed the sister missionaries.  It is a bit of a "pay-it-forward" thing for me.  I am hoping that some family in Missouri is doing all that they can to keep my Hannah fed and safe. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 242
