Sunday Smiles

Hello Dear Blog Friends

I am sorry that I have not been blogging this past week. I have looked at blogs in my Google reader…. but not had a minute to comment for 3 reasons….

1.  I have had a lot of visitors ….. which brought me many smiles that I will share with you.

2.  I got a new medicine called Flexeril… It helps my sore neck , back and rib muscles but it also makes me too sleepy to do anything. I guess this new medicine makes me smile… in my sleep. 

3.  I’ve been making a  digital picture book of the accident. Walgreens was having a 40% off sale on photo books for 4 days.  Their photo books are not nearly as fancy and nice as Heritage Makers but they cost half the price…. and with a 40% off sale it was even less. So knowing how cheap thrifty I am, you know why I decided to give Walgreens a try. However, Walgreens is not as user friendly as Heritage Makers so it took me all 4 days to make my book. …

So my next smile this week was getting my photo book done. I put in pictures of the crash and then told the story of the miracles and blessings that have followed.

The rest of my smiles this week have come from my sweet visitors.

Each week, at church, we partake of the Sacrament.  Bread and water is blessed and as we partake of it we think of how Jesus shed His blood and gave His life for us. We renew our baptismal covenants to remember Jesus and obey His commandments. Partaking of the Sacrament is sacred to us.

Since I can not attend church yet, the Bishop has sent Aaronic priesthood holders to my home to bless and offer the Sacrament to me. This brings me a special smile.

 

My friends, LouAnn and Chelsea (not pictured) have been coming over each week to blow dry my hair. I can’t hold my left arm up yet to do my hair so this service is greatly appreciated.

Sweet friends come to visit, bring food & gifts, rub my sore neck & shoulders, watch movies with me, help around the house, etc.  Pictured here are Kris, Jan, Judy, Darlene, Ruth & Deb…. but there have been many more. ..like Carolyn & Chelsea  who come often to bring food & give me a massages.

They all bring me smiles.

 

Friends have also come to clean up and help me replant my patio…. and…. helped me give John a surprise birthday party….. but this post is long enough so I will tell you about those smiles another time.

Most importantly, friends like you, are praying for our recovery. It is hard for me to be in bed for so long…. and limited in what my broken ribs will let me do. It is hard for John to take care of me and do his work when he is still achy and has little energy.

We appreciate your concern. We feel the support of your prayers.

Have a great week. I hope it will be full of smiles.
