Give and Take

Hi y'all. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Mothers I know out there. Sunday, we were all available to go out for dinner. It was that dinner that was supposed to happen last Sunday or my birthday, my sister's birthday and Mother's Day. We went to Gustav's for the early dinner, which was nice considering I think my sister had not been there and I know I had not been there before. My brother and sister-in-law were able to dine with us as well. Dinner was quite good (yes, Care, I had my HALIBUT). lol! OH, and our power went out for about three hours on Sunday too. We don't know the reason why but I bet there were some daughters and/or mothers that were upset when it had gone out at lunch time. The power had come back on before we got home from dinner, so hopefully people were able to have their nice lunches/dinners for the special day.
Saturday, I went to Alyssa's basketball game in the morning. She was not awake and did not do much in the game but I know she enjoys playing and having fun. Then in the afternoon I finished preparing myself for Mosaic that night as I would be teaching. After some prayer earlier in the week, I was led to teach about the temple and the story of the den of robbers and how when you do something such as singing in the church choir, you are doing it for God above all. Some people will do things for the church just for the church and their hearts are not in it to serve God. They want to please the church...they would be people-pleasers. God calls us to be God-pleasers. I thought the teaching went quite well. Prayer time can sometimes be interesting and this was one of those times. I was glad to see that my brother-in-Christ made it back safely from Europe.
