Blessing Are Wonderful

Friday I went to Oceanside to help the Larsen's move back in after all the work on the house. My left knee was sore. I was limping and walking with a cane. I have been having trouble controlling my hand tremors when I use the computer mouse. After praying I used the computer to research tremors. Among the suggestions I found I could drink alcohol or try acupuncture. Not wanting to trade my liver or soul for a cure I decided aganist alcohol and on acupuncture. While at the Larsen's I asked Marc for a Presthood blessing before going for acupuncture. I had one treatment on 9/3/08 and the next morning I was able to walk without a cane, pain or limp. I don't know if my tremors are better but I will go back for more treatments.

Sunday at church in Oceanside I sat by a sister I didn't know. After a brief conversation she told me about a daughter that had make bad choices in her life style and that she could no longer associate with her because of the emotional pain and stress. It's very painfull and confussing to love someone and not be able to put yours arms around them and express love. I have been in that situation with my Phillips grandchildren and was able to relate and sympathize. It seems that my life experiences are now being put to a better use than just feeling sorry for my
self and that makes me feel good. I may not have the answers to their problems but it seems that what is needed is a caring, friendly ear and to know that someone else has been in their possition and survived. Keep counting the flowers!
