ANYWAY, Happy Birthday to Kurt!!
We've had a nice day, and have been spoiled by our families. My dad and his dear wife brought us a fabulous fried chicken lunch, complete with potato and macaroni salads. Dessert was this awesome cake they had made:
It not only looked great, but was really yummy, too. Can't beat that handsome guy behind it, either!Then for dinner we went to Kurt's parents' house for a roast, potato and corn on the cob dinner. This time dessert was homemade peach pie! Dee-lish!
I think all in all the day was a good one for Kurt. We had Stake Conference this morning and were present as our new building was dedicated. The dedicatory prayer was not only beautiful, but thorough. And there was real power and importance as our Stake President addressed the Lord directly, requesting acceptance of the building and pledging all the goodness that would come from it. I am so glad we were there for this today.
We were also blessed with great seats, though at first it looked as though all the comfortable cushioned pews were filled. We arrived nearly an hour early in order to get a good seat, but weren't the only ones with that idea. After walking all the way around the building to see if there were cushioned chairs we might use in another room, I walked back into the chapel just to see and make sure that everything was really full, as I was sure it would be. To my delightful surprise, there right in the middle of the room was a bench completely empty. No one was saving it, and no one was sitting in it. Even though the rest of the room was very full, here was this bench. Today having a cushioned seat was a special blessing because sitting on a hard chair was just not an option for me. I saw this as a "tender mercy" from Heavenly Father. He was surely watching out for me today.
