A couple evenings ago I was at the church involved in some meetings. In a break I was in the stake clerk's office and the stake president (my ecclesiastical leader) and I were chatting over some issues involving my congregation.
I have a tendency to speak with my hands. At one point in our conversation I happened to notice my left hand. There appeared to be something protruding from my sleeve. As I looked down it also caught the attention of the stake president.
I reached over, capturing it with my fingertips. The conversation stopped as we both watched in curiosity, as if a magician were revealing a silk handkerchief, as I pulled out . . . a dryer sheet. How I managed to put my newly washed shirt on without finding or feeling it I have no idea.
Even so, in spite of the good laugh we had, it was a sweet reminder of how Jana thoughtfully keeps me supplied with clean white shirts, all three of them. I consider it to be a sweet and loving thing. I am so grateful for her care and her loving service.
Note: Jana just interrupted me as she found a spider on the kitchen counter. I don't even need the point she offered. I would think clean white shirts to far exceed any number of spider exterminations.
