Hi Every one

 It's been a while since I've written here on the blog. Life got in the way!

Some things took my breath away and I had to take a break for a few days.

I have previously written that Lars had fallen twice over a short period of time.
It was hard for me, this time, to see him in as much pain that these falls gave him. 

I did not sleep very much at night, maybe 2-3 hours. As soon as Lars moved, I was awake and had to make sure he was ok.

One night, I did not hear him, I had gone into the basement. Lars called on his SOS call, and I answered immediately: Had anything happened? Was it serious? Lars replied, that he thought so, but he was not sure.
My heart began pounding and I hurried upstairs. Lars sat on the bed, with both feet in a pool of blood on the floor. He had cut himself in a toe, with the biggest scissors we have. It took 1½ hour to stop the blood, and then wash all the blood from the wooden floor.

I felt completely burned out. I had no more energy, and I was afraid of what Lars would come up with - next time.

I talked to the home care and they got found a room at a nursing home, where Lars could stay for 4 days. It was just what I needed. 

The caretakers that come everyday, talked to me, and suggested that Lars should go to a nursing home and stay for 2 weeks with a fixed interval. It costs a lot of money, nearly 1800 dkr for a 2 week stay - but I have realized that if Lars is to stay at home, we have to do this - otherwise I will break.
I just love him so much. I'm sorry, and embarrassed, that I'm not able to care for him24/7 without a break. But this is our reality, our life, and I have to deal with it.

Yes, life is not always what you want it to be!
At the same time, if we open our eyes, we'll see the blessings heaven pours upon us. We had such a blessing this past week.

The missionaries knocked on our door a few days ago - not knowing we were members. They were, of course, invited in. We had a lovely visit with them. They asked when Lars had last had the sacrament - it was so long ago, that we couldn't remember... They offered to find out if they could come and administrate the Sacrement for him/us. Today they came!

They have almost just left. I feel peace and comford inside.
It is so important to renew our covenants. To show Christ that we will follow him. It has taken until now, not being able to go to church, as much as we want to, to really understand how much the sacrament means - and how much we support each other when we meet on Sundays, to renew our covenants.

Don't take your love for Savior for granted. Show Him, in your doings that you love Him. The best way to do this, I think, is to show LOVE and support for ALL His children. Keep the covenats you have made, and try to do better each day.

I know, I know, I posted this digi-stamp once before.
It's just been a really long time, since I fell in love with a stamp. Yes, I like a lot of stamps, but this one "speaks" to me.
I just love this digi-stamp "Walk by faith", from Beccysplace.com 

One you love, is far away - you'll have to walk in faith
You're feeling alone and scared - you'll have to walk in faith
You're feeling, far away from your heavenly home - you'll have to walk in faith
What ever you do each day - you're walking in faith

Lars got his wheelchair! I'll have to return it though: it's to heavy to carry, and put in the car... but he sure enjoyed the ride he got! Mads though it was cool!

I've never seen the fold before.

These cards are all made from cut of, leftovers, scrap - or that you might call it. I love that the same card, looks so different, by just changing the cardstock/color.
