Apr 11, 2020 Things We LOVE

Many things we miss being in isolation/quarantine/lockdown:

Fabric .... I'm in the mood to sew. 
Yarn .... I would like to crochet.
Piano .... I could practice a little
Riverwalks .... The peace and tranquility of a lake, river or beach walk.
Voices.... Talking to people.

Things we LOVE and appreciate: 

Missionary humor and inspiration and pictures!

Random concerts by the neighbors in the cul-de-sac that we can hear or go observe at a distance.   Music, dancing and just seeing our neighbors together.

ONLINE free access.   Exercise classes, music concerts, Holy Week in Jerusalem, Lectures and Conferences, and YouTube.
        Speaking of Exercise .... Who knew that Psoas muscle pain is debilitating ?   Probably not until you've experienced it ....   Thought I'd take advantage of getting into shape and without even realizing it became nearly immobile.   Thank goodness for a hip mobility routine!   https://sixtyandme.com/try-these-7-movements-to-relieve-tightness-in-your-hips-without-passive-stretching/

Comedians.  Laughing and watching some that make me laugh:

Cooking!!   Thank goodness for garden produce, grocery stores,  online recipes and foodbloggers! .... I finally got Elder Despain to eat Waffles!

Family History and Indexing!
And yes, inspiration.   Online Easter Holy Week Focus and learning. 

Christ is at the center of who we are.   He is why we are here and to who we turn at all times, In praise, in prayer, in love, in devotion, in pleading for relief from this Global pandemic and Healing throughout the world.   That it may be controlled, caregivers and essential services personnel protected, the economy strengthened and life normalized.   We joined in a day of Fasting and Prayer on Good Friday and with our prayers united can expect God to intervene and provide miracles.   Now it is our job to open our eyes and see them.

This artwork of Christ done by our local friend, shows him surrounded by palm leaves and reminds us of our palms that we use to praise and honor him.   We remember him daily.  We praise His holy name.
