Joseph Smith Quotes... about time:“The great Jehovah contemplated the whole of the events connected with the earth, pertaining to the , before it rolled into existence, or ever 'the morning stars sang together' for joy; the past, the present, and the future were and are, with Him, one eternal 'now."
"Time moves slowly, but passes quickly. The Color Purple” by Alice Walker, 1982

"The magical, supernatural force
that is with us every second is time.
We can't even comprehend it.
It's such an illusion,
it's such a strange thing."
— Anthony Hopkins
Note from Eileen: You will notice I call
my blog: "Traces of Time..."
On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.

Dedicated to our seven children--Janie, Gary, Steve, David, Julie, Brian, Jen...
...their spouses-- Shawn, Julie, John, Jennifer, Jerry--our 39 grandchildren--9 spouses of G-C, and 8 great-grandchildren, including Ingrid Ray born December 4, 2024--for a posterity of 71.

Family is Everything…. Sunrise: 7:50 a.m.
Sunset: 5:11 p.m.
Julie took me to the Revere Health Urgent Care in Lehi because of the cough and congestion I've had for 5 days--since December 26.
As I was coming back to the exam room from getting a chest x-ray, we saw that Nicole had brought, Vicki--John's Mom--for a chest x-ray for the same reason.
I didn't get a photo of the darling
P.A. Brooke Draper who took
care of me and prescribed
Azithromycin, aka a Z-Pak.
This is for preventive from
turning to pneumonia.
She also Rx'd Promethazine
as needed for cough.
I didn't get the name of this
technician who brought me the
form to renew my
"permanent" handicapped
parking card that expired
09-15-2024.
Thanks, Julie, for driving
me to and from Urgent Care today.

This photo showed up...the date stamp is

wrong.

It was June 2010 on the Mediterrean Cruise

we went on for our 50th wedding

anniversary -- a year before our actual

**50th.* We are thankful for David and Brian

making thise cruise possible for us.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime event.**

* We went in 2010 because our friend, D.

Kelly Ogden was lecturing "In the

Footsteps of Paul" at places where Paul,

the Apostle, had taught the Christians in

these Mediterrean countries.

We had become friends with D. Kelly & Marcia

Ogden when they were over the MTC in

Guatemala and Walt was the Area Medical

Advisor who gave the immunizations to the

missionaries at the MTC. Walt was also called as

the Branch President for the Guatemala MTC.

(March 2005- Feb 2007)

Great memories...

12:00 Noon to 2:00 p.m.

Fast & Testimony Meeting...

Gospel Doctrine -- Come Follow Me

DOCRINE AND COVENANTS

2025

I couldn't go to Church today because of

11th day bad cough/5th day of diarrhea.

Julie told me testimonies were shared by:

Nelson Spencer

Joanne Gifford

Nadine Fletcher

Doug Graham

***

I din't eat dinner with the family, either.

Julie brought me in a plate of

roast beef, potatoes 'n gravy,

corn, carrots, and watermelon.

with lemonade.

It is always so good, but I could

only eat a few bites.

I watched the funeral webcast for

Verna Dean King at Burley 7th Ward

from December 27, 2024.

Her two sons and two grandsons

spoke, plus two of her past

bishops--Paul Young and

Mark Fillmore.

It was a very Christ-centered funeral.

Very reassuring.

Jeff Rasmussen played

"How Great Thou Art"

on the organ.

* * *

**** *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes this

Great Plan operational.

At the end of this
January 5th,
I pray you have had a restful , peaceful, and spiritual Sabbath Day...
I share these truths as   my testimony to you...

Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment.

Daily Scripture:** Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. - Psalm 150:6
Daily Quote: I think the Latter-day Saints have a great obligation pressing in upon them to rejoice in the Lord, to praise him for his goodness and grace, to ponder his eternal truths in their hearts, and to set their hearts on righteousness. - Bruce R. McConkie

* * *

Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
* * *

* * *
I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead.
Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."
Daily Scripture:** And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. - 3 Nephi 12:6
Daily Quote: We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. - Sheri L. Dew
* * * * *

Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration. He is the Restorer of all things.
* * *
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world.
* * *
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
* * *
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
* * *
Daily Scripture:** This life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead. - Alma 12:24
Daily Quote: I invite you to diligently learn about and appreciate the eternal importance of temple covenants, temple ordinances, and temple worship as you strive to come unto the Savior. - David A. Bednar

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today. Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.
* * *
Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
