A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Neighborhood full of Angels....

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

Neighborhood full of Angels....

My feelings are so deep right now, that I have no words that can express the gratitude for all the Angels who have blessed our lives.
I often feel a little bit of Heaven fell down to earth and landed in Grantsville. And for some strange reason we have come to live among the Angels here.

For over a year I have loved my friends dining table. Its Solid Golden Maple Wood, with a very unique slide out top, which holds a hidden table leaf, with real gears for smooth movement. One of high quality made.

Yesterday my friend called and said they were on their way over to my house, which is across our neighborhood. Penny brought her beautiful table, and eight wooden, high back dinning chairs...... for me. I couldn't believe it....... She had bought a new dinning set and gave me this one. Its so beautiful.

Penny could have sold the set for a large sum of money, probably in the thousands because of the high quality, and good care she had given it. Instead she gladden my heart with pure delight.
