My Eternal Companion

I love this man!  The man who has made my dreams come true....from being a mom to swimming with the Dolphins.  Larry has spoiled me throughout our life together.  If I really wanted something I usually got it...even when I didn't think we could afford it. (good thing I knew our limits and haven't wanted a lot)  Larry is a great man.  I love sitting back and looking at who he really is.  He's a man of strength and wisdom.  He's honest with his fellow men.  He's kind and caring and sensitive.  He's loving and shows his love to everyone.....others feel it!  He's a good business man.  He treats others fairly.  He's a good leader.  He's smart and has a great memory....it use to be that all his business facts and numbers were in his head only...thank goodness they are on paper and recorded now.  He's a man of God.  He loves the Lord and follows Him.  I really love that about Larry.  He's always been that way but has gotten stronger since becoming a Bishop and having to rely on the Lord to lead the Ward.

Mine and Larry's Spirits match up wonderfully.  We have the same goals and desires for the Eternities. We both want our family together for ever and we both want to be with Heavenly Father again in the Highest Kingdom....we need each other to get there.  Larry is a wonderful Eternal Companion and I'm glad that we were both in the same Courtship and Marriage Class so we could meet.  Life has been good to me and Larry is one of the Biggest Blessings in my life!  I LOVE LARRY!

A FEW STRIKES

Old Friends.....Forever Friends

Tammy has been my friend for a really long time.  We have been there for each other through good times and hard times.  Moving hasn't changed our friendship....moving shouldn't change a friendship.  I love spending time with Tammy.  We discuss a lot and laugh and cry together.  I think we are so good for each other.  I trust Tammy and can tell her anything and I know she won't judge me in any way....I know she feels the same about me and that is nice.  We are both learning lots right now and trying really hard to follow God's Will.  One nice thing about Tammy is there is never a time that we don't talk about God.  He is such a BIG part of both of our lives and we each rely on HIM constantly.  I like expressing my feelings of the ONE that is most important. Tammy and I just "get" each other.  Our spirits are very similar and that is probably why we are such great friends.

Tammy has been experiencing some hard stuff in her life but we know that the hard times are necessary and push us to be stronger for what's a head of us.  This life isn't about being still....even if we try to be we will be challenged so we can grow.....it's just how life is.  I can see how my struggles and challenges have been good for me.  At the time I experience them I would wish them away but when I get through them I am always so grateful and feel stronger.  I'm glad I am where I am right now.  The journey has been good.  I have a wonderful life.

On my drive home from Tammy's I thanked Heavenly Father for all my wonderful blessings and my wonderful life.  I know I have been so blessed in every area of life.  I have more than enough and I am thankful for God's love and goodness.  I am thankful that I am realizing and being able to accept my "gifts" that I have been given.....it's humbling being shown my gifts but it's hard for me to feel worthy of them and accept them as being real and mine.  Oh I love Heavenly Father....I love Heavenly Father for blessing me with the best family and friends!
