took Max to the park, and today we went to church! Boy does it feel nice to get out! :-)
Congratulations Brittnee! You are a beautiful bride!
Today we went to church :-) With all of Sophia's troubles lately it's been a while since she's been healthy enough to get there, so Jason and the boys have been taking the kids. It felt really nice :-) Even though, when you have little ones you may only catch a fraction of what is said, and I do sometimes miss the days when I could vigorously take notes beginning to end ;-) Today was regional conference. I was able to catch a few sentiments in my journal, and it felt good to soak in the Holy Ghost :-) There's something about being there that sets the tone for the whole week :-)
While wrangling with Max in the hall I caught a brother who I recognized because of a talk he gave in our Ward. He had lost his teenage son and he spoke about it. I told him that I remembered his talk and that I was grateful for it. I pointed out Jason holding our sleeping Sophie...and briefly told him about her ;-) We shared a few understandings of facing losing a child.
Our exchange was short but I was glad to see him there at church. I was glad because he lost a child...but he was still in the right place at the right time. And I imagine that sometime after his son died, whether it was the first Sunday after, or a while longer, he had to make the choice to get to church. Today he was in the right place at the right time and I want to be like that. I've always believed I will be blessed if I choose to be in the right place at the right time. It is my hope after Sophie's passing, I will find the courage to always be in the right place at the right time :-)
