Ethan and Cedric were good friends when they were little boys. The last night we lived in TX we spent at their house. It was actually Ethan’s birthday and Ruth made it special for him. They loved to play together and we thought they looked a lot alike, which was fun. They haven't seen each other since they were 7, grew up, served Spanish-speaking missions, and bumped into each other at BYU.
Prayers:
What do grandmothers pray for?
This grandmother prays for her grandchildren by name: Tatum, Penny Marshall, Cora, Ruby, Ezra, and Lana.
I pray for my children.
Greg that he will be happy at work, and that his brother will get well,
Dani, that she will be joyful and healthy and continue to be the kind of mother, wife, and friend, that makes the world better.
Chris that he will find a great job that he will love.
Sierra that she will continue to heal, and that they will be happy in all their life.
Clayton, that his career will fulfill him and that he wk keep doing great work in his family and callings.
Jenna that she will find joy in the journey. That she will be strong and healthy as she raises her daughters and inspires them to be the best they can be.
Sawyer that school will go well for him.
Hannah that she will recover from childbirth, that she’ll get the job she wants, and that all will be well.
Ethan that he will date…but not too much.
That he’ll enjoy his summer job and that he will find a wife, someday, to make him happy.
Grace that she’ll graduate, that she’ll do well at work and get ready for college. That her eye will be healthy and that she will make good choices.
Blake (not my kid) that he will stay strong. Serve a mission. And be happy.
Rob that he will find fulfillment in his job, friends in our ward, and things to help him be happy.
Me that I will remember the things I am learning and be a good counselor. That I will find joy in this new stage of life and not look back at the parts I miss.
Mom and Dad that they will be well, be happy, be healthy.
The list is really endless and sometimes I go through it extensively:
Sam that her pregnancy will go well
Sam that her pregnancy will go well
Karen who said her parents were struggling
Brad whose wife is awesome and on hospice ~that he will know how to live without her and parent their two little boys.
Michael that he will get it together.
Elder Holland that he will get well.
Bishop that he will be comforted and buoyed up in his calling.
Kitty that she will find someone worthy of her.
Meredith that she will be strong and raise her family with Randy now, and without him when he passes.
and many more.....
and in gratitude:
that Lana is here and is sweet and peaceful.
That Ezra's therapies are helping him so much, and that he decided to be my buddy.
For temples that dot the earth.
For God's beautiful creations to enjoy and marvel at.
For a healthy body.
For a beautiful home and a loving husband to share it with.
For the chance to go to school and learn how to help people.
For the courageous examples of my sisters.
For the Book of Mormon whose truths are plain and precious and easy to understand.
That Jenna and Clayton get to go on a fun cruise soon.
That four of the kids live near each other and are close to one another and spend time together. That Dani and Jenna raise their families together.
That Grace will have Hannah and Sawyer nearby when she starts school.
For my cute new car. Can't wait to drive it home from the airport in a few days.
For the internet that keeps family and friends connected, and puts information at our fingertips, that entertains and teaches, and gives us glimpses of other people living good lives.
For Jesus Christ who died for me.
Especially for that one.
