Earlier
today we got a call from my second cousin, Trent, inviting us to his ordination to be a High Priest. He is the son of my cousin Kay. He invited us partly, I think, because he had asked my brother Gary to ordain him. Gary gave a beautiful blessing to him when he did the ordination.
When Trent spoke, he mentioned how when he was a boy, his favorite place to go was Uncle Golden and Aunt Charlet's house (my parents). He said he felt so blessed to have Gary ordain him, as he was the closest family member who could do it for him since his own father has passed away.
It was very sweet to hear him share his feelings. And it once again reminded me that you never know the influence you may have on others just by welcoming them into your life.

Cans of Comfort
The other night I saw a newscast about a woman whose husband was killed in a shooting at a mall. As a way of dealing with the grief and loss, she has started a foundation that makes "Cans of Comfort" to give to families that are going through traumatic loss. I thought that was a beautiful idea it was.
My friend, Dianne, and I had been talking about how to put together a gift basket for our friend from "lunch bunch" who lost her husband a few weeks ago. Though we didn't use a can, we put together a "Cup of Comfort" with soup, gift certificates for a spa and candy, and a few other small items. When we gave it to her today at lunch, she said it looked like a pamper package. Which was exactly what we wanted it to be.
I always enjoy doing anything with Dianne, but I especially love being creative with her.

I'm exhausted.
Pulling everything together for photo shoots (carrying furniture, climbing fences, and making trips to and from the car) is not for the faint hearted. And I guess I must be faint hearted, because three days of it has been exhausting.
