Church was good today. The primary had their program and the children were wonderful. They made my heart smile. "I am a child of God". We say that, but sometimes we forget. I believe at their age, they remember and we can only hope they never forget.
This past week .... month ... wow. I've trained my replacement at the temple and she officially became the secretary this past Saturday. Gayla Dahl. She is delightful and is very kind and genuine. She'll do great. Sigh . . . The Primary children sang "I'm Going to the Temple" in their program today and I cried. 13 years I've worked there and now, it all changes. I've known for 30++ years my kidneys would fail at some point and now it's here. I'm greatful they gave me this long. Wow, mom died at 40 years old. Here I am coming up on 60.
The Lord has truly watched over me. Even at times when I least deserved his watchful care, he was there. He's protected me, gotten me out of bad situations, and has healed my heart. He's given me a loving companion and two great kids and a wonderful sister, good friends, and extended family. All things that really matter.
I can't really ask for more than that.
Soooo . . . I'll work at the family file desk until the end of November and be there to help Gayla when needed. I'm taking off for most of a week in early November to go see my girl and sister.
All is well . . . all is well.
