Loved Today

Today was practically perfect in every way.  Not that it played itself out perfectly, but it felt perfect in my heart.  The weather was cold and rainy = cozy.  The Primary Children performed their program which was inspiring and uplifting:  I Know My Savior Lives.  I attended the Family History computer class again and cleaned up more of our current records.  Then Leigh gave a really good lesson in RS on the organization of the church.  This year the lessons are so basic.  I've thought about this a lot.  Why would the Lord want us to go back to such foundational doctrines?  My conclusion is to strengthen our testimonies because the world and life have all the signs prophesied that are coming true for the last days and we need to be strong no matter what.

We had tacos for dinner and Christine made a fantastic pound cake with an orange glaze.  Boy, this girl is getting very good in the kitchen!

It's Done

Taught RS today. The lesson was on the Everlasting Priesthood. I think it went okay. There was so much information it could have been done over 2-3 weeks so I went with the spirit I felt and the comments sisters made to determine which direction to go. There was a lot of participation, which I appreciated and it always helps to round out a lesson.

I went out to cut some roses from my yard this morning to use on the table, and they were all yucky. It went from cold to hot so fast they just looked bad. So Mere graciously lent me her anniversary bouquet from Josh and they graced the table nicely.

In hind-sight now, I wonder if it could have been smoother. If the transitions could have been better. I guess after you do anything like that you see it more clearly than before it happens.

I learned a lot regarding the priesthood that I didn't know before. I am grateful for the experience to substitute. It's been a waaaay long time since I've done that in RS. I am thankful for the fullness of the gospel and that the Priesthood is restored to the earth today with all the keys. It is a blessing in my life.
