HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 
Wendell, Mark & Wendy
Rosalie & Wendell
Dear Family, On this beautiful Mother's day I can truly say that this has been a “Mother's Day Weekend rather than just one day. It started last Sunday when Wendy and Mark were here bringing two beautiful Plants to go in my flower garden out front to celebrate Mother's day early. We enjoyed a sweet visit with Wendell and took him for a ride. After we got him back to “his home” very tired and tucked into bed. We came to my house where she prepared a delicious meal from all the ingredients she brought.  You know how she is a gourmet cook.

Mark was kind to bring me home when I got tired and while he was here he got my water turned on to water the whole yard. That meant turning on the main control and checking every spigot. Hailey was a good help to him. How much I appreciate all he does for me.  I cannot put into strong enough words how much I appreciate the many ways he helps me.   Kami supports him in doing those things plus I call on her now and again for her expertise. I am very blessed.


Today, the official “Mothers Day” was a normal Sunday except for my neighbor, Kathy Peck, rang my doorbell at 7:30 am to bring me two beautiful roses for Mothers Day and Nancy came a little later with a planter of baby shade flowers and greenery to keep on the patio table for Mother's Day.
I went to church with Wendell and had lunch with him. During church He sang beautifully because he had his glasses on and his hearing aids in. That makes all the difference in the world for him. We stayed right there for lunch and he ate heartily and was soon ready for his nap. We traveled by wheelchair to his room and I prepared his bed for him. During the process he started taking his hearing aids out. I reminded him that he needs to “LEAVE THEM IN.” But without them in he couldn't hear me and somehow one of them disappeared. To make a very long story short I got very sharp with him as I chastised him. Then after the lost was found I felt VERY BAD AND REPENTANT at how I had talked to him. I asked his forgiveness and he just smiled and offered me a kiss. Just like a little child. I love him so much and cherish my time with him. I do not want to spoil it with being unkind to him in any way. I still felt so bad and prayed hard to ask Heavenly Father to forgive me too.  
This episode of my life reminds me of the teachings we have been studying about in the “Come Follow Me” Lessons. I hope you are all following them and gaining a greater love for the gospel and The Lord. I want to share with you what Julie shared with me to help understand those lessons more fully: It is a program called “Don't Miss This.” She put the step by step directions on “Pollo” for me. You can go there to see them. It is on U-TUBE. If you already use U-tube or know how to use it just go there and to the symbol for finding something and ask for “Don't Miss This.”
Love and hugs to everyone, Gr. & Gr. Christensen.

WHEN CHRISTMAS BROUGHT MY BELOVED MARIMBAPHONE TO ME.

Image
 It all started when my Uncle Delbert called my parents on the phone to ask if he could bring his Marimbaphone to our house for a few months since he was painting some of the rooms in his house and he didn't want it to get all dusty.  Vida Swenson, my mom, turned to her husband, Alfred and asked him what he thought.  He quickly agreed to the  plan and within a couple of hours his marimbaphone was standing in our living room.  I watched my Dad play it several times and decided to ask him if I could play it too.  He was as excited as I was that I was asking to play this instrument.  So for several weeks he taught me some simple tunes.  Then one day he said, I think you are ready to play for parties, would you like that?  "Oh Yes!" Came my reply.  And that is what I did until my Uncle Delbert called to say he was ready to come and get his marimbaphone back. It was only a few minutes before he was there to pick it up. -----------------------...

Family Motto “ Thee lift me and I'll lift thee and we will ascend together.” “ Be happy. Let discouragement be a challenge, not a defeat; an opportunity & a privilege.” September 24, 2017 Dear Family, I hardly know where to start. So much has happened the last couple of days that is important. So I guess I will begin with the one that is in my heart above all the others. I received this text message from my cousin, Pamela, late this afternoon: “ Dad died peacefully this afternoon. He received a blessing of love from his bishop last week and a visit of love from a former bishop this afternoon. It has been a reverent experience. Funeral Friday. “ This is my reply: “Thank you so very much for letting us know about Uncle John's passing. I'm glad we got to see him a few weeks ago and I'm also happy that he is now peaceful and happy. We are planning on coming down. Jerusha is going to bring us. Love you tons. God bless you and help you ...

BLESSED WITH HAPPY ENDINGS

Image
TODAY'S STORY IS ABOUT HAPPY ENDINGS.  Here we see the happy ending to our whole day spent in the ER at the Brigham City Hospital.  I, Grandma Rosalie received a call early in the morning saying that Wendell had been taken there because he passed out sitting at the breakfast table.  Chris quickly took me there and we watched and prayed all day while they did all the tests they could give to determine the cause.  At one point I called our neighbor, Brother Peck to come and help Chris give Wendell a blessing.  Even though he was leaving in an hour to go out of town he came.  The blessing that Chris gave after Brother Peck anointed was a beautiful one of recovery.  I was surprised, but relieved.  And it seemed to me that it was soon after the blessing that he looked and responded to directions better.   After he was discharged with the diagnosis that they didn't know the cause, but to keep close checks on him. We headed for The gables....
