Deacon, Teacher, Priest and Elder

Sam was ordained a Deacon yesterday, along with two of his friends, so now I have a Deacon, Teacher, Priest and Elder. How cool is that? What a wonderful blessing the priesthood is! I am so very thankful for it and for all the great men in my life who hold it.

Blessings come in other forms too. Late last night I had to go down to the basement for TP. As I started down the stairs, I had the horrifying realization that last time I had come downstairs for TP, I had taken up the last of it, and of course promptly forgot to do anything about it. I wanted to cry. It was late on a Sunday night and that time of the month. (TMI!) What was I going to do without TP? I had reached the bottom of the stairs by then, and looked up to find one last package of toilet paper still there in the basement. Crisis averted. Thank you, Lord. I went to the store today and bought 36 packages of toilet paper. That's 144 rolls. So, we should be good for a while

Okay, you probably didn't need that story. I hope everyone has a terrific Fourth of July!

I liked that story! Because blessings do come in many forms!

And I am so touched by the power of the priesthood in your home. How wonderful! Congratulations Sam!

HAHA! SUCH a good story. And it is SOOOOO true! I hate having to go to the store for toilet paper, and so I always stock up like crazy. But, then it lasts for so long that I don't remember to buy more until I notice that we're down to our last roll. :)

So SO neat to have 4 sons that hold the priesthood. What an amazing blessing.

Yea for a stray package of toilet paper. Girls use a bunch to TP. Not so much for the boys...but they definately need it when they need it...we just need it waaaaay more often. ENOUGH CINDY

It can be hard to prevent your cat from jumping on the countertops. Cats naturally love heights so that they can see what’s going on around the house.
