Spiritual Renewal

Sunday April 15, 2012

This morning I got ready for church and wore my new short wig. Chris went with me, Lincoln & Lexy. It was so good to be at church again. The topic for the sacrament talks was ‘Spiritual Renewal.’ I was so touched by the talks and spirit that was there. After sacrament meeting many people came up to extend their love and support and to tell me how much they like my new hairdo. Most of them didn’t realize that I had shaved my head and that this was a wig. I have the best people in my ward. Going to church today was truly a spiritual renewal for me. Partaking of the sacrament and renewing my covenants with the Lord is such a gift. Talking with so many good people lifted me more than I can explain. I continue to feel the power of prayer in my life and the Lord’s tender mercies on my behalf. I am so very blessed.

I loved introducing my brother to all of these amazing people and telling them that Chris shaved his head for me. We stayed for Sunday School as well and it felt good to be there and to feel the spirit in class. I was worn out after the 2 hours and Chris & I came home.

Tonight Tyler & Andrea joined us for dinner. My nephew Alex and his girlfriend came too. We ate and played games. I love being with my family. I love having my house full of the people I love and sharing in the smiles and laughter that come from being together. Later tonight, we skyped with my Dad, my brother’s wife Connie, and the rest of us. We continued to look through old pictures and slides together and had fun reminiscing about good old days when we were much younger and living in California.
