Today was very, very, very busy and I'm pretty sure that since I survived it I may survive the rest of the week! The pressure of the day was relieved somewhat when Rich was able to reschedule our hair appointment for tomorrow...Yea! But, I had my scripture study group and our R.S. Progressive Dinner and lots of cooking and running around to prepare for it. Needless to say - I'm so grateful that it is all over!
This morning I taught my "Old Ladies Playgroup" in our Scripture Study Group. We had mapped our the generations from Adam to Abraham last week from chapter 6 and 8 in the Pearl of Great Price and from the early chapters of Genesis and Rich had helped me graph them again in preparation for my class, so I handed out the graph and then discussed the first 8 verses of chapter 6 about Book of Rememberances and handed out some material and talks about journaling and personal and family histories, along with genealogical data. I challenged us all to write the "labors of our day" each and every day until we get back together after the New Year. I also handed out some ideas about the kinds of things we might want to include in our own books and encouraged/challenged us to write more in depth about one or two of these topics weekly. Charlene had been given a journal to do that by her daughter and she has been faithful and been doing it, so she read from one of her entries. I read a couple of my blog entries and we talked about all the ways that we can record, especially since some of us have some difficulties with getting things down on paper at this time. I especially loved verse 5, "And a book of remembrance was kept, in the which was recorded, in the language of Adam, for it was given unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit of inspiration;"
When I got home I didn't have but a few hours to get rice, enchilada casserole, green tossed salad, salad dressing, 7 layer dip, and beans prepared for the dinner. I also needed to get the van packed and take desserts to the Toblers, the dip to Turks, and the rest to the Whites. I then hurried home, changed, and headed to the church to pick up riders. All in all I think it turned out quite nicely. We had about 30-35 ladies and Bishop Tobler gave a beautiful Christmas message too.
I came home and just vegged for about an hour and then headed upstairs to collapse.
All in all - my labors of this day have been good. =)
