Welcome

Hi there,
Just a couple things, this blog IS about my healing but also about what I learn. I am not by nature a depressed person, I like to enjoy life and strive hard to do so even in the hardest times. I am also a voracious reader and love to study religious things, I know scary, oooo, I do let my religious views be know so if this is offensive to you, not my problem, I will not allow crude posts. Im pretty open minded but wont allow vulgarity or rudeness, My kids read this folks so keep it clean. That's all. May your day be full of joyful bits.

Day 15
The Sacrament "Young Women Value Experiences and Projects."
Young women Personal Progress: Standing As a Witness of God, 11-74


Learn more about the sacrament, Read about the Last Supper in Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24, and Luke 22:17-20.
Establish a pattern of pondering during the sacrament by listening carefully to the sacrament hymn and prayers. Thing about why we partake of the bread and water. Record in your journal some of the promises you make as you partake of the sacrament and remember your baptismal covenants.

Got to say this is pretty hard with kids. I do try but inevitably Dawson has to stand up and play with something even when he has nothing to play with, Aurora shushes him Forest tries to forcibly make his sit and or stop so I have to referee. Its tough to have the spirit. However, now and then I get to have a wonderfully spiritual experience while taking the sacrament, It hasn't been often I will admit, but when It happens its is a truly amazing feeling of love warmth and acceptance. I'm trying to get the kids to sit quietly through the Sacrament. I'm trying to figure out what I did differently with Forest, Aurora and Dawson that they wont sit quietly my only thought is we decided that taking Mariah out in to the hall and beating her but was not Christ like in any way shape or form but SHE has usually been good about sitting still for the sacrament at the very least usually the entire meeting. I so failed at that with my other 3 kids. I would recommend teaching them as soon as possible to sit still for half an hour at that time sure makes the experience much more spiritual. I guess it is going to take a bit of time to get this particular day of the walk down.

I went to town today and went to my Art club meeting I found out that....
