Today was a good day. I was completely exhausted as I got home after 3 and didn't get to bed until 4 or a few minutes thereafter. I was up 4 and a half hours later and then had Jack in and out of the room, in and out of the bed, on me and then off of me - there was no hope for a few more minutes of rest. I did have a meeting to go to at 10 and so getting moving was what needed to happen anyway.
Presidency meeting was fantastic today. President Fawson, Brother Rowley - our High Counselor, and myself were in attendance. Todd Allen and his wife had a baby two days ago and he asked to be excused. Evan Applegates wife had a baby a couple weeks ago and he was also out today. We enjoyed some interesting conversation and what was going to be a short meeting ended up going for a while. It wasn't casual conversation, it was uplifting and moving. Personally I was lifted, I was strengthened, I was enlightened and I am grateful for it. My resolve to live the basics of the gospel each day was strengthened. Perhaps I am too simple of an individual and I probably need to increase in my learning and understanding. In anycase I find strength in the basics.
Tonight we were discussing Thanksgiving and things we were grateful for. Andy lead us off followed by Jack and then Natty.
Said Andy: 'I'm thankful for the sun'
Jack declared: 'I am thankful for gravity'
And Natty: 'I am thankful for the plan of salvation'
We had some fun discussion with these. I thought the answers were great and somewhat random. Not at all what I expected to hear from them.
