I'm excited to hear from our missionary son, Thomas, today. He will be calling from Washington
this afternoon.
It will be great to hear his voice and to feel of his spirit. Every year, I ask my kids and their
spouses to stand up and sing my favorite hymn to me and I'm looking forward to hearing them
sing it today. It's "I Know That My Redeemer Lives." They are all coming over for dinner today
(all that are in state) My children bring great joy to me as they
follow the Savior and trust in his plan and it brings such peace to my heart and soul. Just like
any other mother, my greatest wish and desire is to know that my family is happy:) and true
happiness comes by following the Gospel Plan of Happiness.
I wish all mothers could feel the peace and joy that I feel today. I love my dear mother and
mother in law who are in heaven and was thinking about what gift to give them even though they
aren't on this earth any longer. Larry and I decided that we would show increased love to one
another this year and serve each other more...that is the gift that our mothers would want.
Happy Mother's Day! (My husband got me a darling little puppy! She's so cute!)
