Mother's Day for Nana!

This is my lovely Mother's Day surprise!  All of my grandchildren in one photo  montage.  Besides that, I spent a wonderful day in church, especially with my Primary class, and the Gentle Giant gave me a bamboo plant that I have been wanting, along with some chocolates and a jar of garlic stuffed olives!  So much effort was put into this picture for me, and I so appreciate all of my loving children for it.  It is going to hang in my bedroom where I can see it anytime I want to.

Tomorrow is the deadline to find out if we have FINALLY been awarded Workman's Compensation.  For some reason, I am disinclined to worry about it, I certainly know that I will be cared for.
This morning, the Gentle Giant was very ill and had to be on oxygen because his oxygen levels fell sharply and he couldn't breath.  Dear Robby, my son-in-law, brought over a tank and set Papa up, and after a while he was feeling better.  For a moment, (or maybe an hour) I let my fear overcome me and I fell apart in tears because I was feeling sorry for myself and the situations around me.  Poor Robby got the brunt of it, but he was very patient and just waited for me to calm down. I am at peace now, once again, I have been able to cast out the feelings of the adversary, and anyway, I have other loved ones who are experiencing much darker trials.  My prayers are with them, and just the effort to pray for someone else, lifts my spirit so much.  I guess when you take your mind off of yourself to think of others, it brings the light of the Savior into your heart.  I would much rather have that light than to suffer through the pangs of darkness.  I will try to take my own advice!
Tonight, all is calm and at peace. The Gentle Giant is sleeping peacefully, and I await the dawning of tomorrow, bringing with it the love and joy of serving  my family and friends. Perhaps I will have good news to report tomorrow night when I write again!
