A message from Heavenly Father, that Ella Williams gave me just now

I will share with my family this letter I just wrote to Glo because I don't want to forget this.

I have had so many beautiful experiences over this past year. I have tried to share them with Glo and on the blog but I know I have forgotten some of them.

Dear Glo,

I just thought I would share this with you in a letter and with the family on the blog before I forget.

Ella Williams called me today. I talked to her just now and she told me about a dream she had. In her dream she was talking with an old girlfriend and her friend was telling her about all her troubles. She was telling Ella how hard life was for her and Ella said she was feeling so sorry and sad for her friend. She was feeling burdened by the troubles her friend was telling her about.

At the end of the dream Ella had the following thought: "Sometimes, people walk a road of suffering they do not deserve because they will need to help others in the future". This was the message Ella heard. Then she woke up and she had a thought and it said "you need to share this dream and this message with John Kennedy".

She called me today to tell me this story and I just thought it was so nice. She feels and I believe it was a message from Heavenly Father to her for me. I told her how thankful I was for her to tell me and I told her it means a lot as I have had so many thoughts of guilt and self recrimination. Did I do something bad to deserve this? Am I really a bad doctor and a bad person like the people a the hospital are saying I am? Were Larisa and I completely wrong when we felt we should come her? Was our inspiration so off and wrong?

I know God lives and I am thankful he is mindful of Mommy and me. I do not see why this has happened to us but I am comforted to know it is not because we deserve or have earned it, it is so we can help others in the future.

Love,

Papá

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

I'm writing this, not as a complaint, but as a plea. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. My children are talented. In fact, every child that I have ever met is talented in some way. That's the fun thing about meeting kids--discovering those hidden talents. Some of the talents my children possess are very public--you guessed it...music. Some aren't so public--kindness and generosity. My kids are frequently judged by other children because of their musical talents. Other kids see them as "snobs" because they play their instruments well and because they are willing to share those talents whenever asked. My kids never play with arrogance. They recognize that they are better at music than most kids their age, but they never, ever show it. In fact, they are very generous with compliments towards other kids and their efforts with music. I have raised them to appreciate anyone who tries to do anything with music--it's ...

Redefining Charity

I like attending church on Sunday for many different reasons, but I dislike the meetings for one very large reason: discussions regarding charity. In case you don't remember your Sunday School lessons, charity is defined as the pure love of Christ. If you were to actually look up the word in a dictionary, it would say, "See John Kennedy". That's right. My wonderful husband is the perfect embodiment of charity. His life basically moves from one charitable act to another. Take any given Saturday. He can found building some large structure on our property because I think we need it. He can be found, rebuilding a pond for an old Indian woman who lives alone and needs some help. On his way to a church picnic, he will stop to help an old woman reseal her driveway, missing one of his favorite meals in the world: a POTLUCK! Other days? He stops to help any person on the side of the road with car troubles. He'll drive 2.5 hours to a ...

The TOOTH that Broke the Camel's Back

1. Take an already busy doctor and install an EMR (Electronic Medical Record) in his office. Kiss him goodnight at midnight as he begins to "preload" charts for future visits. 2. Host a general authority of the church for our stake conference this weekend. Receive a long "to do" list of jobs just five days before the conference. 3. Feel stress because John is stressed. Try to do his jobs around the house so that he doesn't have to worry about them. 4. Have 16 puppies. 5. Decide to build outside area for puppies. Borrow backhoe from neighbor. Watch John work long past the setting sun, and wake up before anyone else to dig. 6. Use our own tractor to move the dirt. Watch bucket malfunction, cut the fuel line and destroy the fuel pump. Try to catch the leaking diesel fuel in a bucket. 7. Catch cold last weekend. Dread colds like a hemophiliac dreads a small cut. Nurse fever, congestio...
