Tender mercies of the Lord..... shown by kind deeds.......

Saturday I was able to attend a Horizon of Hope luncheon thanks to Shauna and Drew Weidman.  Dan is friends with Drew and referees football with him.  They generously sponsored me to be able to attend.  The speakers at this event were incredible, and really gave me so much strength and hope from listening to them speak.  I also received a beautiful basket with goodies and a flower arrangement.  I feel so humbled by how much the Lord blesses me and shows His tender mercies through the selfless giving and service of others. 

It was a beautiful day on Sunday.  Perfect fall weather, and beautiful fall leaves changing colors.  I went for a walk with my kids, and even though I am pretty slow, it was wonderful to get out and enjoy this beautiful earth that we live in.

I am feeling great today.  I feel better on my good days than I felt for months before I started treatments.  Now if I can only get through surgery!  I am really scared of that, and can't wait until it is over and done with.  My surgery should be in the next couple of weeks, and as soon as I have a date scheduled for sure, I will let everyone know.  I can't believe another week has passed.  The days drag on (especially when I am feeling lousy from chemo) but the weeks fly by! 

A man who lives in Willard named Don Tuft surprised us with a beautiful framed painting of the San Diego temple today.  He painted it especially for us!  We were so awed by his kindness!  He said that he knows we are going through a hard time, but hopes that this painting will help us keep things in an eternal perspective.  We are continually in awe of all the kindness and service that is shown to us.  I think that if everyone everywhere would show this kind of love and charity to all this world would be a better place.

I think this website is kind of turning into a gratitude journal.  I am so grateful and thankful to everyone for their loves, prayers, support, and kindnesses, whether great or small.  YOU each make the difference of brightening my day and making it possible for our family to get through this trial well.

Dear Amber,

I love you and admire you so much. You are such a wonderful example to everyone around you. I am blessed to be your mom. Even though this is not a path that I would have ever thought that we would have to go down in our life your courage through it all has been remarkable. Most days I still can't believe that it is happening to my daughter and have to think is this really real? I want you to know that it is a blessing to be able to help you in your trial. I love being able to spend the time with you in doing what ever I can. You have the hard part in all of this the pain the sickness and the worry. It is a blessing to be able to serve you as I am sure all would say. I find each day that I am sustaind in many ways through the blessings of the gospel as you are too. It is a hard road but as you say the joy in the little things has become so much greater which makes life that much more beautiful and rewarding. I love and appriciate you so much. I am blessed to be your mom to be able to go on this journy with you.

You can not stop the wind, but you can take the time to make sure that everything important is secured so that dinnerware and cups are not flying all over the place.

The reason on-line retailers lower their louis vuitton handbags cost is as a result of the stiff competition plus the truth that they have lesser overhead expenses to pay for. Bare in mind though that you can find some dangers in on the net shopping that you will have to be cautious about. For one, look for a reputable online shop that sells only the highest quality products.
