Blessings that came from Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

We decided that after our cruise we didn't want to travel home on Sunday. Instead, we rented a car and found the closest church house to the Orlando airport. We slipped into a pew on the side close to the back as they were singing the opening hymn. The ward was very diverse. It reminded me of visiting Seth & Tiffany’s ward in Miami with a variety of nationalities.

When we stood after the meeting was over, the lady sitting in the row in front of us and off to the side turned and looked at us and said, “I know you!” It turns out it was Donna Anderson Bingham. She grew up in the same ward in Phoenix that we attended and she was Delon’s best friend. She and her husband were in Orlando, he for business meetings, and two of their children and grandchildren had come from Georgia to see them. What a small world. We chatted for a few minutes and learned that her husband, Dan, had been recently called as a Stake Pres. They are from Helena, Montana.

Later we drove to the Brandon where we lived in the early years of our marriage near Tampa. We visited friends Sunday afternoon and Monday and Monday evening we did a Reliv presentation for some friends and they had invited guests to come, too. There was much excited about the products and everyone there wanted on them. They then shared with some friends. That one evening resulted in $8,000 worth of sales. We had also had a good month, despite the fact that we were out of town for a week for the cruise. We ended up being 5^th in the nation in volume of sales for the month of April and Reliv sent us a bonus check for $2250!

We couldn’t believe the blessings that were poured out upon us. We truly felt that we were being blessed for keep the Sabbath Day holy.
