Suzzy Q And Crew: Week of January 9

My Inspiration...For Now

"…Your Heavenly Father loves you—each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there."

-Thomas S. Monson

“The sweetest experience I know in life is to feel a prompting and act upon it, and later find out that it was the fulfillment of someone’s prayer or someone’s need. And I always want the Lord to know that if He needs an errand run, Tom Monson will run that errand for Him.”

~Thomas S. Monson.

"Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved."

-Thomas S. Monson

“Noah waited 120 years before the predicted rains arrived. Abraham waited 25 years for a promised son. Joseph waited 14 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Job waited perhaps a lifetime, 60 to 70 years, for God’s justice.”

“God prepares leaders in a slow cooker, not in a microwave oven. More important than the awaited goal is the work God does in us while we wait. Waiting deepens and matures us, levels our perspective, and broadens our understanding. Tests of time determine whether we can endure seasons of seemingly unfruitful preparations, and indicate whether we can recognize and seize the opportunities that come our way.”

John C. Maxwell

"When you marry someone, you are entrusted with the heart of another human being. Whatever else your life's great mission will entail, loving and defending this heart next to you is part of your great quest."

John Eldredge

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

Leonardo da Vinci

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
~Aristotle

" Life is a series of problems. Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort, God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.

Pastor Rick Warren
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Week of January 9 - 15, 2022

Highlights:

Spiritual

Sacrament Meeting was wonderful and a young couple that has been in our ward for months spoke...and they will move in a few weeks to a new home. Primary went well and many more kids in my class were there. Dad taught since the sister I teach with is stuck in New Jersey, sick with Covid.

Temple remains closed for renovations this week.

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day.

I have indexed 1469 records and reviewed 3368 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Happy Birthday Sam on the 13th.

This family had a busy week. Their Sunday included church and a walk around the temple grounds.

There was disappointing news as school went remote again.

The Ethan Rice Family

Wade had his tonsils and adenoids removed on Thursday. He has been doing pretty well and the hardest thing seems to be keeping him calm. Ethan travels to Phoenix next week for work.

The Doran Rice Family

Happy Birthday, Kooper on the 13th!

Morgan

Morgan had a good week.

Kayty

Kayty had a good work week. 1 minor and 1 major save this week.

The Nathan Rice Family

Happy Birthday Nathan on the 14th! It was back to work this week for Nathan, though he works in the master bedroom. The girls are doing well and love their little sister. Nathan celebrated his birthday by sharing a Wagu beef steak that must have been very yummy.

Dad's Garden

Garden doing well and still fighting all the wildlife trying to eat it.

Family History

Sharynn kindly scanned and uploaded all Mom's slides to an internet site so I will be sharing some each week.

This is my mom and her grandfather, Earl Harrison Marsh. It must have been at his home in California.

Inez Marsh, Grampa Marsh and Barbara Marsh Kew (Mom/Nano)

This is me!

This is Lambie, a most favorite toy. I loved Lambie! Lambie did not survive our move of a few blocks when I was 8. My dad thought she was dirty and tossed her. Poor Lambie!
