***Tuesday I ran and got a pedicure. I went to the place close to me because I was in a hurry and because they will use a razor on the dead skin and sometimes I need that.
***Wednesday I house sat while a family attended their fathers funeral. I didn't know the man who passed away....I do know his son in law. I was glad I was asked. It made me feel good inside to be of service to someone in such a small way. I tidied up a little and then read the book I brought. (Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech)
I really enjoyed their dog, Molly. When I first got to the house the little boy (around 11) told me that Molly wouldn't bite me much. I totally laughed...Molly is a kind dog. I loved how relaxed she was and that's why I took so many pictures of her "chillin".
No burglars came and the house was safe. I just had to open the door and hold Molly back when people delivered flowers and when the accountant came.
I hugged Trish (the wife) before I left. We have met a few times but I don't think she remembered me but I didn't care because of the day. She didn't want to let go and my heart went out to her. I said a silent prayer for her and her family during that hug. I left her home feeling good inside.
***I do a lot of laundry during the week...my bed is the folding place.
***Larry and I took Kevin and Julie out to dinner for their birthdays. We went to the Brick Oven. We all enjoyed the meal where they bring the pizza to you so that you can try everything. It also included the salad bar and Root Beer. We were all satisfied and full when we left. It's so fun visiting with our kids one on one. I love our birthday dinner tradition.
***Some of the neighbors went to breakfast. I have good neighbors and we decided that we need to get together a little more often with more of us. Teri just moved in by Kathy and it was fun meeting her. I like her already. I made sure I had my camera and then forgot about it until Kathy and I were leaving. (brain fart) Hopefully we will do it again soon and I will get a picture. I love my neighbors...I just live on a really good road...everyone is kind.
I went with Kathy to get a pedicure. Since I had just got one I enjoyed sitting in the massage chair while we visited and laughed.
***Kimleighel and Jared were involved in the "Shine the Light" cultural celebration for the rededication of the Ogden Temple. They have been practicing for months and on Saturday they were able to perform. It was such a spiritual experience for them....they loved it. They loved being so close to President Eyring. Kimi was hoping to see President Monson or Elder Bednar but they had both attended the earlier program. Both the kids really enjoyed being able to perform and be a part of this special event. I know they both wrote down their experiences when they got home. I love that our church does these celebrations. It gives the kids an opportunity to give back a little to the Lord and to have a spiritual experience that they will be able to share with their kids. I really love how our church involves our youth....the youth are special and our Church makes them aware of that. I felt the spirit so strongly as I watched both performances. The first performance I couldn't stop crying...the second one I noticed Larry having a problem with the tears. It was so wonderful! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is True and Good and adds LIGHT to us All!
***The Ogden Temple was rededicated on Sunday, Sept 21, 2014. It was a beautiful meeting with the Spirit testifying to my soul again that this is the House of the Lord and the true church. The spirit brings light and happiness to my spirit and soul. I know the things that happened today are true and good. I know that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost knows each of us and loves us. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live. I love the Temple and I'm so excited to go to this temple again. I have really missed it. I always feel loved and safe inside the temple and I know it's because it is God's house and only good abides inside. I felt so inspired during the dedication....so full of "Light". Everything seems so plain and simple when being led or taught by the Spirit.
I'm so thankful for Temples. I'm so thankful that I can go inside and enjoy the blessings there. I'm so thankful that Ogden has been given a Spiritual Boost by having our Temple remodeled. I really do believe that Ogden (and surrounding places) needed a boost and having the Temple remodeled did that. I know many visited the Open House and felt the spirit. I love turning the corner from my mom and dad's house and seeing the Temple perfectly in front of me. What a blessing the Temples of God are!
***I love Sundays because I get to see more of my kids and grands. The girls love playing with my shoe and old purses. Parker creates his own entertainment...which is entertaining to everyone. (Larry was really asleep while Parker decorated him)
