Today has been a long day. We kissed everyone in Temecula goodbye and got on the road. It was just a long and boring drive home. We tried to fast for my Dad. But it got too frustrating with the kids and feeling carsick. We said a special prayer and broke our fast at lunchtime. I am so thankful that Greg drives us everywhere we go. He's amazing!
When we got home we unpacked and cleaned up and did what we could do before bedtime. A lot of us are a little under the weather. And ALL of us are tired. We tucked it in early and called it good.
I was so thankful to hear from my mom. And to know that things were looking up a little for my dad. We are cautiously optimistic for him. I feel drained of everything. But I'm so relieved to hear that there is hope. Mom and Dad had a very special sabbath day. They found out that their whole ward was fasting and praying for Dad. They felt all of the prayers of all of the people praying. And they feel comforted and peace. They feel that this is in the Lord's hands and they have so much peace and comfort knowing that this is so. I am grateful for the goodly parents that I've been sent to here on this earth. I've been taught my whole life the things of the spirit, and of heaven, and of a loving Heavenly Father who truly cares for each of us. I know that I have a Savior and that HE lives. It is beautiful to see my parents exercising their faith...but it isn't surprising. I've seen it throughout my entire life. What a blessing that is to me and to their whole posterity!
