The following are some
“Short Sweet Stories” Sis. Johnson has experienced and written down as she has
worked on the grounds here at the Carthage Visitor’s Center. One of these stories happened today and the
other was a few days ago.
Sis. Johnson:
Today a young boy of about
5 years of age came to me as I was trimming plants in the planters of the
Visitor’s Center. He said, “Thank you for making everything beautiful.” His mom
said that he will be going to kindergarten this year. It was such a sweet kindness from someone so
young. Love, it!
Another sweet, sweet
story happened last week as I was cleaning the flower beds. A young boy
(probably 3 years old) said as he looked at the Visitor’s Center and statue of
Joseph & Hyrum, “Oh yeah, I remember this place.” I couldn’t help but think to myself, when did
he see this place before? He was so small and young, how could he remember it?
He was too cute!!
It has been Cicada
season in Illinois for the past month or two. For some time the noise of the Cicadas
has been deafening! At least that is
what Sis. Johnson tells me, personally, I can’t hear them at all. I suffer from
a condition called tinnitus or “Ringing in the Ears.” What the ringing in my
ears sounds like is a room full of Cicadas all screeching at once. So I hear
Cicadas 24/7 all year, not just in June and July.
