This morning I was very tired and easily frustrated. I fell asleep for about a half an hour and dreamed about the hymn: How Firm a Foundation but I woke up humming: How Gentle God's Commands and feeling completely different. Now I had a happy spirit. I was able to completely trust God. "Come cast your burdens on the Lord And trust his constant care." It was definitely a gift that I did not have this morning. With it came a greater sense of humor.
After looking at the hymn How Firm a Foundation, the verse that sticks out at me is verse two: "In every condition in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth, At home or abroad, on the land or the sea--As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand, As thy days may demand so thy succor shall be."

About Me
- Mom
- Mayer, Arizona
- My name is Suzanne Osborne Halliday. I am a mother of five sons: Michael, Edward, Stephen, Bruce and Daniel. I have a beloved step daughter: Lisa. I am the grandmother of seven grandsons: Anthony, Joshua, Aaron, Tyler, Mattie, Sydney, Zachary, and three grand daughters: Bella, Gali and Alycia. I was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1942 to Harvey Osborne and Joyce White. When I was nine years old my parents moved to Peridot, Arizona, a village on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation where my father had bought a trading post. It was not long after this that I was first introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A family down the road invited me to attend Primary. It was held in the back of the Weech's Trading Post in San Carlos. This was where I learned that I because of Jesus Christ I could return to live with my Heavenly Father again one day. Three years later my heart was touched by a Joseph Smith pamphlet I found in my brother Stevie's lunch pail. I joined the church 13 May 1961 when I was 19 years old. This decision has greatly changed my life.
