I woke up this morning at 4:30 and could not sleep and that is the pattern for most days. My mind just races with all that I have to do. I try to be at the house by 7:00 as to get started before the workers get here. I usually read my scriptures and write in my journal and then get ready but, this morning I felt impressed to just go to the house and start working. I not only have the house I am working on but there are many boxes of pictures and family history that need to be sorted through so this morning I listened to conference on the internet and worked. I got a lot done and tried to fill the house with the spirit.
I try to keep the house cleaned up after the workers as it drives me nuts to have a mess. Jared has been a tremendous help with this and given him purpose and meaning in his life. He has truly been my guardian angel while we have been here. The only problem with Jared being my mortal angel is that he has to eat and he wants it on time so I have to really work around his stomach. This is not entirely bad because it has made me keep eating when in reality I would rather not and I cant afford to loose any more weight. I know that may make a few of my friends mad but finding dead rats and a dirty enviorment don't do much for the appetite!!
I have had so many tender mercies from the lord that I cannot begin to even list them all to you but I have recorded them in my journal. I realize that I cannot do this without his help and guidance and I feel it on a daily basis. I will try to add a few more pictures today and then I hope to start showing you all the people that have been a help in my life (tomorrow).
BTW I moved out of the house about a month ago as I gutted the last bathroom. I live at Woodside Terrace (the same place as Bob) I eat with the 80 plus gang and really enjoy it. This has been a blessing as well as on mornings like today when I need to leave early I feel Jared is very safe. He goes swimming with grandpa and they eat together when I can't. I almost rented a studio apt and that would have not been near as good (another tender mercy). I feel safe and comfortable. I am grateful.
Have a great day!
Wow!! Why am I NOT surprised that you two have taken this on? If anyone can do this it is you two! The pictures say it all. I have heard for years how bad things were but I never would have guessed. You have probably added years to Bob's life! You two are angels...even if Bob doesn't realize it in this life, he will eventually.
