I have been fully engaged this week! I am breathing a sigh of relief tonight as I tuck my little ones into bed, and know that there are some 22 artists here in St. George in rooms, with appreciation gifts in their rooms, and all the details of the gala are completed. We will finish the installation, which we began early this past Thursday morning, and then we will send them on their way. I loved hearing tonight about their inspiration for their art. I am grateful for the change in plans which set in motion the instigation of having them have a part in the gala. That was the highlight of the evening for me! I am grateful to have heard them tell their even brief stories! I am grateful for many, many angels who came to my rescue today! 1st my sweetheart who is so supportive and understanding! I am eternally grateful for my Mom! I want to be like her when I grow up!! She is so amazing! I am grateful to have her here in St. George! She is so guided and directed from above! Guided to know that we should... she instigated many miracles today, here are a few: try to find popcorn for the scouts at... Home Depot! Who would have guessed? I thought she was crazy... but there are LOTS of young boys out eating popcorn they popped right now! That we should have the artists talk about their own pieces, and even give them 2 minutes to do it in the gala! It was a good idea, but she was able to share that someone who the world deems as successful does it, and so someone else dared to try it, even though many said it shouldn't be done, and guess what - that was the hit of the party tonight! Early this morning she called from Walmart and knew that she was supposed to buy these bright springtime flowers from Walmart. They are on the tables tonight for Brother P's funeral tomorrow. I can't believe that C.W. was there with only L tonight setting up for a funeral dinner for 150 people tomorrow! Wow, worker bees! I am grateful to have gotten there in time to help a bit! I am grateful also for D.F. who came to my rescue early this morning when I called her to pick up bags! She was on it, and came to help all morning! I am grateful to my dear Dad! I am grateful for L who agrees that C should drive for this week! We could sure use another driver around here! What will I do without them. I am treasuring today, grateful for each one of my helpers!! I adore each of them! I just laid down with little J while he fell to sleep. That is a joyful few moments of my days right now! I treasure those minutes as he drifts safely to sleep knowing someone who loves him is close by! Thank you Heavenly Father!
I am also counting blessings tonight that the rain is not falling! Despite weather forecasts that it would be horrible tonight, the skies are clear, and it is very cold, but that is much better as my B is at outside the Dixie center with some 375 boy scouts camping out! Tomorrow is the Scout Expo, and B was asked some months ago to be in charge of the inaugural year of camping out. We didn't realize that these two huge events were on the same weekend until about a month ago. Ugh. We knew they were going to be harry! They have been! Angels have certainly been here in abundance helping us through! Thank you angels!
