5 married, a few not married, and I never did quite win the prize at church for having the most, but that's all right. I was never trying to win any race - only survive. Each one was a miracle. I knew it, and knew God knew it, so who was I to stop before He told me to. My disorder got really bad after my last, and at that same time my husband was called to be bishop. It would be another 15 years before I would know I had bipolar disorder.
Life is levelling out right now, this year, but who knows what next year will bring? We are Canada beef producers, and have no market because of the closed US border. Our whole beef industry is crashing as I write. So, family here today, maybe gone tomorrow, the future is very uncertain right now in this industry. But that's another story in the saga.
Does this have anything to do with faith? Well, if you could hear the prayers of the children pleading to help us sell our cattle, if you could see all the acts of pure service given by people around here without pay, you would say, "yes" this is a great test of faith, These prayers will be answered. They are now being answered in every way but one. So, peace and joy abound, even though our world as we have known it for the last hundred years, is shutting down. Well, I'm not quite a hundred. Do I sound old?
