You will have significant experiences. I hope you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Grandma's Covers

When you were small.....and just a touch away,
I covered you with blankets against the cool night air.
But now that you are tall.....and have moved far away,
I fold my hands and cover you with my goodnight prayer.

A GREAT LADY

A great lady in my ward passed away Sunday morning. She served as my Relief Society President for the first 5 years we lived in our ward. We never went to lunch or went on long walks. We weren't close friends but I considered her a sister in my ward whom touched my life in so many ways. She was a Giant among women and will truly be missed. I have a quote in my home from Marvin J. Ashton:
GREATNESS is best measured by how well an individual responds to the happenings in life that appear to be totally unfair, unreasonable, and undeserved.
Elaine Knighton was a lady of GREATNESS. She was my strength, my mentor, strenghtend my testimony and gave me hope. I will miss her presence at card making night every month, her lessons in Relief Society, her laughter at enrichment nights and her smile as I passed by her each Sunday on the back row in Sacrament. Her testimony of the Savior and His love for her in such a trying time will live on in my heart. I thank her and love her.

I love her too. I can see her greeting me from the back row in the chapel next time I visit...but it won't happen again. At least I have the memories!
