I feel like Ammon in Alma 26 when he says, ". . . how great reason have we to rejoice; . . . Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise, yea, let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth work righteousness forever. I do not boast in my own strength, not in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things;"
My heart is full of gratitude and humility this day for the tender mercies of the Lord, for miracles, for blessings unmeasured; surely my cup runneth over.

Shannon's has had a wonderful week, free of nausea, and because of that she's able to do more things and is beginning to regain her strength. She still walks a tightrope trying to balance the drugs she needs with keeping her kidneys from failing and keeping her lungs from being rejected. Right now, the balance is working. I wish to say what's in my heart and the words don't come.
It's such a joyous time for Boyce and Suzanne as they move forward with their wedding plans. They are so very happy.
My son-in-law, Jonathan, was put in the Bishopric today. There's nothing quite like watching our children grow in the gospel and rise up in testimony.
Shad and Jodi are making it easy for me to come watch their two come October.
I have an eternal companion who loves me and I love him.
Again from Ammon's words, "Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel."

I am so happy for you, Rinez. You have had a lot to worry about lately, and that feeling of joy is such a wonderful gift from God.
Thank you so much for the 2 kind cards you have sent to me. I miss Randy so much. I didn't think it was possible to love someone so deeply and miss him so much. I keep praying and hoping that some day God will send some light back into my life. Until then, I will just keep trying to do my best.
Thanks again for being such a dear sweet person.
Well I'm glad you're SO happy! You deserve to be so. I love you much!!
Sounds like things are going great for the Campbell family. Those are some of my most favorite scriptures. I'm glad all is well!
