We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

My plans and Shiloh's Greatness


Okay Thanksgiving is in 6 days so thing have got to start cooking around here. (No pun intended). This is my plan for the day. I am writting it down and putting it out there so that I have to be responsiable for it and to give some props to Shiloh.

Todays to do list.

-Laundry, lots and lots of laundry, washed, dried folded and put away

-clean Gideons room

-dishes

-sweeping

-picking up the living room

-and still be a mom which means finnishing bathtime, give treats make lunch and at times entertain little kids.


The best part comes tonight. Shiloh is really good at doing this and some times I don't give him enough props for it but tonight Shiloh is staying home with all the kids and I am leaving by myself. This was all his idea. I was telling him I wanted to get my hair cut before all the holiday parties and festivities started and he told me to make an apointment for tonight and that I should go by myself so I could relax and start getting some Christmas shopping done. I love getting my hair cut and I love shopping. I am looking forward to the peace and quite of being by myself and moving at my speed. Thank you baby!


Tomorrow it is back to the grind stone.
