A Day to Celebrate Jesus' Birth

Today kind of felt like I should celebrate Jesus' birthday or something. It IS April 6, isn't it? Yet I did not hear anyone make note of it. Granted I was busy about the business of being grandma at Tracie and Jared's. Mady and Luke were my blessings today to spend half the day with anyway.

I spoke to several friends and it wasn't until late this evening that I mentioned it to a friend of mine. She agreed but had not remembered. That is ok, But I thought I let myself down from such a great spiritual high from General Conference, and in my spiritual preparation.

It wasn't until late before I went to bed that I realized I had not read my scriptures first thing of my day like I usually to do. I remember rushing when I woke up and had fifteen minutes to get to Tracie's on time for her to leave for work.

Seems like I overlooked a very important key to my daily routine and skipped it today, until the eleventh hour. I know I can do better, and had the thought in mind to read my scriptures while at Tracie's house, but didn't. I usually like to read along online and can even listen to the narrator, who is a popular anchorman on KSL TV. However, I do tote my quad in the car, so that I always have them where I can find them for Church. That way, I can use my other twenty-some years old scriptures to study at home otherwise.

My scriptures have become so much a part of me and my day, and added going to the temple more often to accomplish these in behalf of my kindred ancestors. Any of you who still have those name slips if they are completed, please email or call me. I can check them off, to do the sealings of couples and children can be done in order.
Thank you for doing those, since it takes so long for just one to do that many. I appreciate the help.

I have a request from Tara, Tanise and Hank for more names so that the twelve and older grand children can help with the baptisms. I am pleased to do that and DO have many more records to submit. I will do those soon. It is one of my "missions" here on earth.

I like doing the temple ready program for my own ancestors. Lately in doing the proxy work, I have felt their acceptance to get this done in their behalf. There is always more, and know the reminders come as the veil gets thinner and thinner.


It is my prayer that as each of my children progress and in their season can feel these same promptings that I have in doing this important work. Perhaps too, as time passes I can influence my posterity for good when I am on the other side of the veil and remind each of you to keep on doing this great work with joy and diligence. This work is never finished and will continue into the millennium.
