Keep on Playing
Better late than never right? I know, I am a little late in sending this message, but it has been a busy weekend and I am trying to catch up. Some days it feels like we are always playing catch up. As long as we keep playing, that it is all that matters.
Where do I begin?
It has been a good week. The Queen's little brother and family came for a visit. It was good to see them and try and catch up in the few hours we had with them over dinner. Even with them in town, we all seemed to be running a million different directions. There were those who just wanted to play and be entertained, those that had previous engagements, phone calls, and more. We did our best to utilize the time. We hope the time between our next visit is not so far spent. It is true that we need to make the effort next time.
The Professor is feeling like she is under pressure all the time to play catch up. She carries the pressure well, but it is obviously taking a toll. She is counting down the weeks to off track. At one point she suggested we get a way, but I think she will just sleep.
Tall Man wrapped up one performance and went right into the next. I know he got married a time ago, but as busy as he keeps himself, I wonder if he is ever home. This new play is on this side of the mountain. We might see more of him between work and rehearsals. Maybe we should be inviting Ehl-Bo over here so she can see him with his eyes open.
SnackPack started making little adjustments to his night life. He will continue to make adjustments as the days move forward. This weekend we joined him as he floated the mighty Green. The weather was great, the water was cold, but not frigid, and though there were tumbles, splashes, and mountain goats, no one was severely hurt.
Well, there is where we have been on the temporal side. On the lighter side, spiritually speaking, my head has really been wrapped around family, family history, and what I need to be doing. I just don't know how. It keeps coming back to me. I don't know that I am ready to expound on the subject.
I did have some wonderful experiences that reminded me that we should always be be ready to stand a witnesses at all times and in all places this week. Early in the week I got a phone call from Texas. My heart slowed down just a few days ago, even though the voice on the other end of the line assured me that everything was OK. It just was not what I as expecting.
Puddin's ZL's were putting together a conference. They had received permission to call some parents. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. Just the few moments I had to visit with them, bear testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ and just a little of what He means to me, was amazing. I hope the witness I received was just as strong for them.
Then yesterday, I was asked to be voice in a blessing. It was a great learning experience for me. Hopefully for those who participated and received. It gave me the opportunity to learn a little more, counsel a little more, and be counselled in the same setting.
I know without doubt that the influence comes from loving Father who knows us, understands us, and wants the very best for us. We just have to be willing to heed His counsel, obey the plan He has established, and keep on playing.
Until we do this again.
Cheerios!
