March 2015 Visiting Teaching Message

"Patience is a virtue."  Developing patience, however, takes time and doesn't come easily for most.  The March visiting teaching message is: "The Attributes of Jesus Christ:  Long-suffering and Patient."

    Ah... it DOES take practice. Cassidy always tells me I have a lot more practicing to do on this very thing. LOL

    It doesn't come easily for me.

    I LOVE that quote Kristi!!

      I think most people could benefit from more practice--I know I can!

      Isn't that quote great? Though English isn't his first language, Dieter Uchtdorf seems to have a way with words.

    We're all four year olds inside, aren't we? Is it my turn? Is it my turn? Can I go now? Can I do it? I want a turn! I want to go next!

    (Can you tell I just got home from preschool?!)

    Patience is a lesson that is really hard for young children to learn. Amara is often so anxious to tell me something that she doesn't even hear what I am saying.

      And it isn't that easy for adults, sometimes, either!

    (aka 'acceptance'… and what a remarkably difficult process for something that is, at it's heart, very simple.) (My favorite author, Carlos Castaneda, has a term, 'the Path with Heart'… which (I believe) refers to engaging life without fear or reservations, knowing that the things beyond our control are a part of the whole and not, as often we react, personally aimed at me… the acceptance of this goes a long way (for me) to approaching the sentiment in your message.)
    cool

      The phrase "eternal perspective" comes to mind.

Ten Things of Thankful: Even in Times of Uncertainty

  A railroad switch point on the tracks at the Golden Spike National Historic Park There is a lot I don't know. I don't know who will lead the United States for the next four years (at the time I'm composing this post, that hasn't been determined yet.) I don't know when covid cases will stop rising in my state and start decreasing. I don't know how challenging situations will turn out. There is much uncertainty in life. Living in limbo-land is hard. It's emotionally exhausting. It can be immobilizing. My body seems to think chocolate is the answer, but I know that isn't a long-term solution. What do I need in times like these? I need to REMEMBER . 1. R esilience. People are resilient. I am resilient. I'm thankful for resilience. 2. " E ach Life That Touches Ours for Good." So many people, both those I know in "real life," and those I have only met virtually, have taught me, encouraged me, and been examples to me. I'm thankful

Ten Things of Thankful: Another Trip Around the Sun

  A mixed bouquet of pink and purple flowers sits on a round table Last weekend, I celebrated another birthday. I think the earth moves around the sun faster and faster each year, but I can't prove it. Before another minute goes by, let me share my Ten Things of Thankful list for this week. I'm thankful for family: A birthday dinner with my daughter Birthday calls/texts from family members Beautiful flowers from my children A Facetime call with grandchildren. (My grandson repeated three words the entire time: "I am three!" At one point, I told him I would call him Groot.😉)  Drexel and his laid-back nature (The following video shows Drexel on the floor, while the robotic vacuum repeatedly runs into him and starts up his hind leg and tail. Drexel never gets up.) John and his engineering skills. Yesterday, the bishopric of our ward (church congregation) drove around the neighborhood and (taking care to observe covid recommendations) passed out doughnuts to everyone. Eac
