Random Thoughts from Home

Yes our boy hurt himself pretty bad. He had 9 top stitches and 2 under the brow. He also had himself quite the goose egg and when he awoke Saturday morning his eye wouldn't open. Thank goodness for health clinics and good insurance. Thanks, Dad!

It's been quite the freaky week. Last Wednesday both Sr. Lederer and I came up missing major parts of our seminary lesson. On the same day? Coincidence? We don't know and our missing papers have yet to show up. I also had the unpleasant occasion of someone trying to get in the front door. I'm grateful for the habit of locking the door at all times. I hope each of you do too!

Then there was the call on Friday from Zach saying that he had been injured and might need stitches. I am most grateful that that week came to a close. And then there was GENERAL CONFERENCE! What a grand event and I want to share two thoughts that came into my mind as I sat listening. First, you can want, desire, and yearn to have those you love live the life YOU think they should live when what you should want, desire, and yearn for is that YOU will live the life you should. I just felt impressed to make those changes in my life that will make me a better daughter of God and draw me closer to my Savior and Heavenly Father. Second thing is that I felt a very strong impression to make our home more like the temple. I want to read and study more about temples so that I may make our home more like them. They are such places of peace and serenity and if you can make your home like that then it becomes the sanctuary it should be. I love conference and I love going to listen with questions and having the very first talk include answers! Isn't that incredible! What a wonderful church we belong to and what amazing leaders we have. How wonderful that we have a Father in Heaven who heard my prayers and answered my questions through apostles and prophets. Wow!

Well, it's late and Brady's home from work so we can have scripture and prayer and I can go to bed. Love you all !
