Thoughts and stories, by Pal

I It has been 6 months today since my dear husband Wayne D Eckman passed from this life into eternity.  I miss him so much!  But I'm sure he and his twin brother Blaine are very busy up there, having fun, and doing missionary work! The picture above was the spring of 1956, after we were married, at Dixie College.  The photo below was also about that time, when he was in college. I've written many articles about him, which you can find under the "labels" under his name, Eckman Wayne D.  There are several articles about him and his twin brother Blaine.   This was taken 10 years before he passed away, when he was 75, and I was 71, about our Golden Wedding time.

Lovely thoughts from Latter Day Light Daily Devotion.  Scriptures and quotes from prophets lift our spirits, and will help us keep this Sabbath Day holy. August 17, 2016 Prayer SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY   1 Peter  3:12 "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. " QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball "There is a knowledge that our Father in Heaven wants each of us to have, and that is a personal knowledge that he hears and answers our prayers. I have always had very tender feelings about prayer and the power and blessings of prayer. And for this I thank our Heavenly Father and my dear parents and teachers, who taught me by word and example about righteous and heartfelt prayer"  ("Pray Always,"  Ensign,  October 1981) .
