Impetuous

November 3, 2017

Being impetuous can get you in trouble even when you don’t mean to! When I am quiet you know that something is wrong. My words may be quiet but my mind isn’t. By nature, impetuous is where I am at. I am reasoning within myself and talking myself out of being hasty and impulsive. I know this story will be told at my funeral or will be brought up around the table before or after my funeral. I want the truth to be told. Because I have heard variations of it and this story about my impetuous nature! My middle son Tex was turning 8 right around Halloween. He is different from my other children. I wanted this to be an extra special birthday for him. In our religion 8 is the age for accountability and baptism. I planned for weeks to make this an incredible experience for all, and it will be memorable for all who attended or wish they had. I decorated the room with pictures of Tex, his violin was on display and family musical spiritual numbers were prepared by our family band, “The Elkington Fiddlers” I was at the piano. right by the door to the baptismal font.

So Shall We be Like a Tree

September 17, 2017

I planted a tree A tree that will last It will last my lifetime My children’s children will watch it grow It will see changes Changes in our home Changes in me Changes in our community It sees the big picture It will watch the  circle of life Death, birth, the storms of life It will stand through many seasons of life Spring-Fall, summer winter Stormes of life that will be unnoticed by the self-absorbed But the tree will see It will clean the air Clean the soul It will only give It will give protection to the home from the elements of snow, wind, and will give shade. It will bring the smell of pine from a wreath during the Holidays and welcome visitors It will give pine tea to the sick This tree will only give So shall we be like a tree Give new life Give new breath Give new perspective and stand strong and beautiful when the storms of life engulf us Stand firm and strong Bend in the wind Drink  up the rain and welcome the new day Look up Notice the sunshine

My Andy finally found his Anne

June 18, 2017

My mom made me a Raggedy  Anne and Andy when I was a girl. I loved them both and they were in my room as a child and a teenager. They reminded me of my mothers love for me. The love of my mother and father and grandmother and grandfather. When I was married at the tender age of 18 years old. They came with me.  They were set aside as my life as a wife, mother and grandmother continued. I found myself as a divorced mom after almost 25 years of marriage. With the move and  craziness of a new life, my Anne was lost. I am not sure where or how. As children have grown and left the roost and  I was able to have and office of my own . Andy found his own special place in my office. I kept wondering if Anne would show up. But she hasn’t and I have often wondered where she was. I have felt bad that I didn’t take better care of her. My mom had put so much time into them both. My mom is in Heaven and I cherish the things the she hand stitched. I was needing

Which one are you?

April 16, 2017

Which child are you in this picture? This Easter day I had the privilege of teaching 5 year olds in primary.  The Primary is an organized program of religious instruction and activity in the LDS church for children eighteen months of age until 12 years old. My husband and I were team teaching and I asked one boy which one he would be and act it out. He chose the boy folding his arms, another chose the one with the goat, and the only girl in the class chose the girl sitting at Jesus’s feet. They all got in their positions and looked at me with their big eyes as I asked them, “If you could ask Jesus any question, what would it be?” The beautiful 5 year old girl asked with all sincerity, “Am I good enough?” Another boy said,”Ya I haven’t been very good” then she said,”Ya , sometimes I just do bad things” The  other boy said that he didn’t know what he would ask. As I look at this picture I believe I have been all of these children, and with tears in my eyes I told them that I hadn’t been very good either. But
