Blessed Beyond Measure

I bet I'm a lot like many of you and do the weekly house cleaning on Friday. My friend Susan E. did hers on Thursday so the week-end was truly free and I like that concept but just haven't switched over to Thursdays yet. While dusting this morning I picked up my wonderful gift from the stake Relief Society meeting last month and felt that rush of gratitude. I love that feeling. After the stake meeting I placed my gift in the family room and notice it often which I think is a good reminder (also a good reminder to dust weekly). I hope all of you were able to attend, be uplifted, inspired and receive a lovely gift to remind. Today I decided to take the time to reread the quote on the back.

"I promise you that all who faithfully attend to temple work will be blessed beyond measure. Your families will draw closer to the Lord. Unseen angels will watch over your loved ones when Satanic forces tempt them. The veil will be thin and great spiritual experiences will distill upon this people." Elder Vaughn J. Featherstone - April 1987

That is a powerful statement. I want and need those blessings for my family and myself. Doesn't it make us all want to circle May 29th, our Phoenix North Stake temple day, on our calendars and attend!!!

I also want to share a simplification tip here since I started this post about dusting. Cheryl recently told me about her Swiffer duster and how great it was. I tend to not purchase disposable "things" much but I did try this out and now I'm hooked. It makes dusting more thorough, easier and I'm all for that. I even bought one for Trevlyn. Well, back to cleaning, tending a mending dog and remembering my blessings.
