A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Gift of Special Blessings...

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...

Gift of Special Blessings...

May 14, 2018
Yesterday was Mother's Day...

Sometimes we receive sacred blessings that cause us to be in awed, how the Lord is welling to bless us when we are in need, and its unexpected. I was reminded of a lesson I have learned, why people who receive such blessings are not willing to talk about it..... its is because when we talk about it, it doesn't feel special anymore, seems to fade away in our memories, instead of keeping the feeling of humble gratitude.

I know the Lord is very much aware of Mothers, I have had the experience in my own life, which comfermed the truthfullness of life continuing after this one.

With the unending work that Mothers have, working with his children, when there is a great need, the Lord often open ways to bless us, its sometimes, at times when we feel there are no other way....
