Sunday Night

Sacrament Meeting was so special!  The theme was Love at Home!  To see Bob and his sons and one DIL, Judy, sitting in their pew just brought tears to my eyes.  I have to admit that I wondered if they would come Church or not.  Bob said- this is where Myra Faye would want us to be.  I agreed.  You could feel a very special strong spirit and that started in full when Linda said the opening prayer.  She so beautifully expressed what we all felt.

Kaitlyn spoke on FHE and did a great job sketching the history of it and her family experiences.  Then Justin and Celise spoke on achieving peace in our homes and marriages and used Conference talks.  They are a sweet "ideal" couple expecting their 3rd baby.  Young and just getting started on marriage and family and trying to figure it all out.  Celise is such a conscientious, down to earth person ( raises goats, bees etc.)  Her family is her priority.  Justin ( a former Seminary student of mine, who was such a winner then and still is.) with his gift of speaking brought such reality and wisdom to the meeting.  He ended it with reading a quote about service and also referenced part of Linda's prayer about service and tied it in with Myra Faye.

He told of the service that she gave the Aaronic Priesthood boys by instructing them on the importance, of the music being played and blessing on sacrament being timed, and for them to be alert.  He recalled her teaching him that refinement about 20 years ago.  Also he mentioned the Spirit in the Earl home and the peace within.

It was just fantastic to be in Sacrament meeting, as I went to Church hoping they would skip the talks and say...let's have a testimony meeting and honor our friend, Myra Faye, today.  It was sheer inspiration, not coincidence, on the assigned subject and it was just so comforting, so familiar, so special to just worship as we always do.

The closing hymn was, of course, Love at Home.

At the beginning of the meeting Br. Cozzens, in his conducting, read in the records of his recently married son and wife.  Then sustained the love birds to work in Primary.

There was something so full circle with a teen, a young married couple with little ones and then another, just married in the Temple, couple on the program.  It reminded me that they are all just beginning their lives and my friend, my Myra Faye, has just completed hers.

It's not in our timing nor preference but Our Father's timing is never in err.

There is a time and a season......yes.  there really is.
