*Today at church I enjoyed listening to the testimonies of members of my ward. Several older siblings helped younger siblings, and it is sweet to see their desire to help and to testify of the Spirit they feel in their lives. In January our Bishop declared this year the year of miracles, and people have been sharing the miracles they've seen, big and small. One small miracle I've had is that I finally went to see a chiropractor for my aching tail bone, and I'm able to sit through church (and stand up again) without sharp pains. The pain is still there, but much, much less intense.
*In Primary, we wrote notes to Kara Webb, a sister in our ward with lung cancer that has spread to the point that she will be entering hospice care this week. I knew Kara when she was the Stake Young Women's President and I was the Stake Primary President, and heard her testify of tender things in our Stake Counsel meetings. About two years ago she moved with her daughter's family into our ward. She has been stalwart through her cancer battle, doing her calling even while in a hospital bed, and the last time I visited with her, she wanted all the news of my kids, who she doesn't even really know, instead of talking about herself. Heaven is about to gain an angel back, but we are about to lose one. The kids' notes were so sweet. I hope they bring her a little relief.
It was a delight!
*Update: Kara passed away on Tuesday morning. 💔
