One blessing I am grateful for today. The internet. This last week the weather has been crazy which messes with the internet connection. I like being connected and being able to search the internet. You don't realize how much you like something until you can't get it.
An experience I have had that was a blessing to me. Being with my dad when he took his last breath is a blessing to me. Because my life is so busy I am the child that isn't always at my parents and I was afraid I would be the only one not there when he passed. I slept at my mom's and cancelled most things so that wouldn't happen. I feel very blessed to have been standing by my daddy's side when he passed. It's a serene, peaceful experience. I was also with my sister and her hubby when he passed.
One Gospel Principle that is a blessing to me. Repentance. We all need it and I am thankful that each day throughout the day I can repent and be clean and pure again....over and over!
Something I have done to bless another. This week I paid for a strangers meal. I hope it made his day as much as it made mine. Larry and I also cleaned out Sandy's room at the nursing home. It was Larry's idea and I was blessed by being a part of it. I know the family appreciated us for doing it.
Who was a blessing to me this week? Jim Swearingen. With everything Jim has on his plate right now he continues to smile and be happy. He told us last night that he truly feels that way inside as well. He's optimistic and grateful for everything that he has. His example makes me more aware of the "little" things that are really "big" things.
