Sometimes Lynn and I just look at each other and shake our heads. I find it so incredible that we haven't drowned and died. Everything seems to be piling upon us. My hip replacement, 2 deaths on my husbands side of the family. Fighting with the insurance company that says we are not covered, in two issues, that had originally said we were. Which could mean, we could be thousands of dollars in debt. Lynn being layed off, with a year to go for retirement. And then there are the problems our children are facing. I often feel my prayers are covering the Lords door, so when he comes through it, he is snowed over by them...
I look out the window and take in the beauty of our back and front yards. Looking at the beauty of the flowers, and garden, and everything that is there. We have a nice garden, thanks to Lynn, who has worked very hard. 6 fruit trees, 4 ornamental trees, pine tree, grapes, blackberries, raspberries strawberries all in the back yard. and the lawn is beautiful.
this year I have enjoyed daffodils and tulips, and now Pansy's in the front flower garden. Our neighbor even planted 3 more roses for me... Our friends in this ward have been so unbelievable...I don't know what I would do without them.
Lynn works hard in our yard to make everything so beautiful, to help him and me to count the blessings the Lord has given us, and hopefully he (The Lord) will help us get back on our feet.
Sometimes it frightens me when my husband walks around in a circle not knowing what he is doing... He is on overload... and when Lynn gets that way it is scary.
Not only is he doing everything he has to do, but he is doing everything that I have to do, and then has to take care of me too. Hopefully in about four more weeks I might be back on my feet. And to top things off, he helps the family on his side, with the heaviness, because of the deaths. Lynn's parents are in their 80's, and alot of the weight is falling upon his dad.
( I just remembered, Lynn was asked to conduct a funeral on my side of the family just a couple of months ago.)
Lynn is doing a great job, and it is not easy for him...
Update:
I think Jerry Middleton, and maybe Kevin Brimhall's wife.

Every thing will work out fine. It's getting really scary in this world. I'm going back to school to be a dentist :) and I haven't been to school in nearly 18yrs. :)
Lots of love,

I'll be praying. I'm so sorry everything's been so overwhelming for you both. I'll be praying that God gives Lynn the strength to do all he has to do and help nurse you back to health, and I will be praying that very soon, you will heal and be back on your feet. I'm also praying for your children. Sometimes life can be so overwhelming. I know I'm young, no kids yet...but I know about hardships. I know about the ones we put ourselves through our mistakes, and I know all about the ones that are out of our control. But, the really freeing thing that you already know is that God is always in control.
