We had a special luncheon for Davaleen since she felt cheated when we went to the Mother's luncheon in Brigham City and wasn't able to talk like she had hoped for. Carla let us go to her house since it is always ready for quests. It was going to be at Kathy's because of her knee but she is doing great and she had kids visiting. Then I was going to have it at mine but remembered that my kids were out of school and so Carla said we could have it at her house. Carla's house is always clean and very peaceful. She likes having people over and it doesn't stress her out at all. The only problem is Carla also wants to prepare everything when it's at her house. I just don't think that's fair to her so I took bread sticks anyway. Jodi was hoping to come but just couldn't swing it this time. We all missed her!
Davaleen just listened to us all talk and then I turned our attention to her. She was able to share with us some things going on in her life and some of her concerns. We were able to show are support to her by listening and letting her know that she isn't alone. We all have challenges in our lives but sometimes I think others forget that or don't realize that because they only see the good. Seeing the good is wonderful but it's important to realize there is always more than we know and really we are all in the same boat. This life is about trials and getting through them and seeing that we are blessed much more than we are tried.
