The Beauty of the Fall Season!

Good morning......early morning to everyone! This is such a beautiful time of year. We had a gal across the river yesterday call and say she had taken some pictures of the house and trees from "her" side and wanted to send them to us. Calvin is going to follow up with her and we will see how they turned out.

My week of heavy chemo was alright during the week. Calvin has been such a great help. I was only on the chemo last week and now the waiting of "help verses hinder starts." It's all about wait from here on out. I will not have much to report so you be patient too. I will be back on line but I'm hoping with other events and not just my cancer story. There are many wonderful things going on in my life...I have two kids getting married!!!!! To wonderful people!!!!!!! Two more grandchildren!!!!!!! Teenagers!!!!!!!! Yes, life is great!!!!!!!

I appreicate all your cards that continue to come and prayers and fasting that have and are taking place. What do people do without friends.
"People, who need people....are the happiest people in the world!"

I have been so blessed with a wonderful family of parents & siblings that pop over and cheer me up, always reaching out to help, comfort and talk. Also my immediate family that I feel I run ragged with impatience and errands. I asked Calvin the other day if I seemed more abrupt and short than I use to be. He quietly so no.....I don't believe him. Love him so much and feel of his love for me.

I've enjoyed the "World Series." Finally something decent on the televeision. I love good movies and seem to watch more T.V. now that I lay around more. Sad to my heart the people in charge of the media entice all the kids and next generation with so much crap! What must the Lord be thinking? To all of us.....our agency. It breaks my heart when I know and most of you do to, the potiantial of our spirits. We are created after out Heavenly Father. Our potiental is never-ending. I'm getting my "Seminary" hat on.

When I was teaching Seminary and would be running out of the house, I would walk past my bed, which is where I say most of my prayers, and I would think of this hymn. Some mornings I would think I "don't have time to pray, I will say them later." This songs always reminded me how simple it is to call upon our Heavenly Father and to think about it more. I would tell myself that I would not want him to tell me he would answer my prayers "later." I want to share it with you in closing my blog.

DID YOU THINK TO PRAY?
Ere you left your room this morning
Did you think to pray?
In the name of Christ, our Savior
Did you sue for loving favor
As a shield today?

When your heart was filled with anger
Did you think to pray?
Did you plead for grace, my brother
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your way?

When sore trials came upon you
Did you think to pray
When your soul was full of sorrow
Balm of Gilead did you borrow
At the gates of day?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary
Don't forget to pray.

Have a great week! Enjoy the season.
