When You Know Something is Right

First, I have some good news...ta da! Mark should be back on salary in about one and a half weeks! Isn't that great? I think things are much better this time, with a renewed committment and appreciation, improved operations, and a better outlook for the future. I'm just glad we don't have to move!

Okay, so:

Last night we were all in our room, with the French doors open and Leto loving that. We were eating bacon and garden tomato sandwiches, and it was just after sunset, so beautiful and peaceful. The horse in our back pasture was whinnying every once in a while, and the lights in the room were glowing.

We had just been reading and talking about how our prayers are answered, and the good feeling you get when you know something is right.

I guess you know how I was feeling...

Right then, it was just right.

Pain and Sadness

Yes, I just posted about making the best of things. I just want to add to that and say that this world has a lot of pain and sadness in it. It's so hard to embrace it, but that's a part of life, and it makes the happy times happier. What gets you through is knowing you're not alone.

Heavenly Father loves us, even when we are blind and limited in our capacities.

And we can love others, and they can love us. Just think how much that means in our lives.

Think how that will be the only thing that matters, in the end.
