Just wanted to share with all of you my experience this afternoon. The past few days I have been nagged with thoughts that I needed to get over to Adele Swift's house. She is my friend from the ward that has been fighting cancer for about three years. I kept getting involved in other things and ran out of time...so today was going to be the day. As I got ready to call her to see whether I could come over, I picked up my messages and one of them was reminding me to take dinner to them...last night!!! Awwk!! So I called to see whether I could bring it over tonight instead and come to visit. Her husband answered the phone and I found out that she passed away at about 12:30 pm today. He is grieving but stopped me as I babbled along with my apologies to tell me the news.

It has really made me reflect how very trivial everything else I was "busy" with was compared to having my last chance to see her on this earth. The Lord was trying to tell me but I thought I could do it on my schedule. Again, I found that my schedule is not the Lord's! I just wanted to pass this on as we all need to be reminded to pay attention when we get those nagging promptings...and do it!

Love,
Mom
