The Missouri Independence
Mission President asks that missionaries arrive for meetings early, and also
wants them sitting in their seats reverently preparing themselves to be
taught.
Well, our newest granddaughter
is not just punctual but arrives early. Maybe she inherited it from her father
who was a track star in high school and college. If you are a sprinter the
point is to get there early or at least before the other runners.
We feel very blessed to have
a new granddaughter. We have been praying for years that the Lord would bless
our children that were in a position to have children, with children of their
own. When we heard the news that she was coming early, it was a bit traumatic
for us and for her parents. But the mother and Baby seem to be doing fine, our
new granddaughter decided she could do her growing outside the womb just as
well as inside the womb, plus this way she could look around and see what is
going on.
We have been taught that as
we attempt to serve our mission faithfully, the Lord would bless our family
while we were gone. I also posted earlier that we at times worship a forth
watch God when we want first watch answers to our prayers. In this case it seems we received a first
watch blessing. This newest granddaughter was conceived about the same time we
received our mission call, well before we had served a day in the mission
field. The Lord truly blesses us as we attempt to serve him.
We continue to have many
things we pray for, and I am confident the Lord will answer those prayers as we
learn to submit our will to the will of our Heavenly Father. We read in D&C
82:10 I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do
not what I say, ye have no promise.
I know that as we learn to
be completely obedient to Heavenly Father’s will, he will grant us all our
righteous desires.
