Things too wonderful

*Sitting and watching the BYU Game with Mom and Tom
* Staying in bed late with Tom
* Watching the pink after glow of night
* Looking forward to the Primary Program today
* Studying Job For the thing which I greatly feared is come unto me. The Law of The Harvest (we reap what we sow) began to work for Job when he changed his attitude and repented.
". . things too wonderful for me. . .I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee." Job 42:52,5

October

* The leaves are turning gold.
* Bret, Tyler, and Matt came up to look for deer. What a treat.
* I found Christopher Young's mural for the Newport Beach Temple in the Ensign. It is magnificent. I need to go see it.

Feeling Completely At Home

* Kelly and Heath make life so comfortable and warm. Their home is filled with love and happiness. Watching conference with them on Sunday was heart warming. We had deviled eggs, homemade sweet rolls, and little sausages in the family room. Maizie gave an impromptu talk about temple marriage between the speakers. Busy children coloring and taking notes. Everyone came running when the prophet spoke. I am so proud of the Thompsons, I love them so!
* The bike rides through the trees and around the water were amazing!
* Kade played football like a tiger, poor the quarterback.
* Mckinnley painted a picture of the Thompsons girls dancing, with bright happy colors.
* Madison has a good ear for music. She played "Love at Home" so quickly.
* Maizie likes to stay real close to her Mom. Dang those robbers.
* Millie told me that if I wanted long beautiful hair like hers I must take a bath every night. She also likes her babies very cozy.
* Heath is a busy man providing for his family. He drove a half an hour alone to go to Priesthood Meeting on Saturday Night.
* Kelly is a miracle woman, dancing around, multitasking, finding joy in her family. She fixed the most savory food! Spinach Bow Tie Salad, Sausage Kale Soup, Cookies, Rolls, Muffins, my mouth is still watering.
* Kelly thank you for inviting me into your bathroom while you got everyone ready for school. Thank you for not picking up a wet towel or a lost shoe. You made me feel like I was part of your family.
* "Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail." D & C 6:34

Believe

* Today was my best day so far! We had lunch with Bret, Matt, Kim,and Nicole. We are celebrating Kim's Birthday. Everyone looked happy, especially Matt. Bret is working miracles. I want to bask in those happy thoughts like forever!

* Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. . .let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27

Holding on to summer

*The days are still warm. I made an arrangement in my green box of purple cosmos and gladiolas, we light a candle by them and they just glow by our bed. Simple things really are the best.

* I slept so good last night. Didn't wake up till 7:00.

* I am going Visiting teaching with Chrystal Carlson today. I want to see Pat and Heidi today too.

* Morley almost chips his teeth hiding his beer when I walk by. I wonder why he thinks I would care. He lives so alone. I wish he was Tom's friend.

* Conference is coming!

*Beneath his watchful eye,

His Saints securely dwell;

That hand which bears all nature up

Shall guard his children well."

Hushed Beauty

* I am thankful for the Sabbath
* Fresh flowers by our bed
* Sam came running through the field to walk with me this morning
* Relief Society General Meeting to fill my heart. Tender stories. I want to be a better neighbor and Visiting Teacher.
* "And they pitched their tents round about the temple, every man having his tent with the door therof toward the temple." Mosiah 2:6

Sweet Simplicity

* The daisy was Jamie's wedding flower. They speak of happiness.
* I rode Trigger last night, it felt so good.
* Diane is coming up, hope we can spend some time together.
* We rode to the round coral in Roland's ranger. The leaves are turning yellow now.
*" I will impart unto you of my Spirit which shall enlighten your mind and which shall fill your soul with joy." D&C 11:13

There Has Got To Be A Morning After

* I am grateful that there is always a morning after. A new day to say thank you to. I new day to try again.
* While I was on flat bench this morning the thunder rolled and crashed, the rain poured down, but it was a warm rain. I returned home muddy and dripping but a new woman.
* I got a call from Matt last night, he sounded like he was ready for a new chance. He couldn't say enough good about Bret. Thank you Archie!
* In the temple there were four of the most excited Russian girls missionaries.I tried all my Russian on them, you know the words Kim would call down to the kitchen from the hall up stairs, after she would say,"You don't even know!" Kim you must teach me more, they would have loved you. Can't wait for the Relief Society Session on Saturday Night.
*Nothing touches the soul but leaves its impress, and thus little by little, we are fashioned into the image of all we have seen and heard, known and meditated. And if we learn to live with all that is fairest and purest and best, the love of it all will, in the end, become our life." David B Haight

Breathe

*The moon was full and so bright last night. Dad and I sat in the dark and watched a new series on TV, but we couldn't stop looking outside at the brightness of the night.
*I took Grandma to the cabin and we sat on the old swing by the creek. She talked continually of her many memories. We felt Dad close. The leaves were beautiful.
* Grady is wearing big boy pants.
* My diamond is back on my hand. I went to the Beezley's to get the prongs fixed. Andrew was there and I thought of Trent. Those two boys had such a kind and gentle spirit to them. They made our home better.
* Today I am grateful for a new day to be happy.
*"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart by the Holy Ghost. . ." The still small voice is subtle as though the Lord was whispering in the midst of a tumult of other sounds. Lund
