Blessed..

Today was a particularly stressful day for me. Very busy with the daily things that life throws at me. As I thought about the events to take place in the near future, not only for my family, but with our country...it is hard for me to put into word the feelings I am having. We have been told by our general authorities that life as we know it will not be the same. This makes me a little nervous for the unknown. Jeff tells me I worry about things that I can't change, but I worry none the less. Well, Heavenly Father must have been listening to my thoughts through out the day because as I came home to my sweet husband at 8:30 with our three wining children he took over and allowed me some alone time. I did some laundry, some dishes, started packing Karlee's sack lunch for her first field trip, treated Grady's thrush before putting him down for the night, Checking e-mails, when I came across an invitation for a holiday boutique that peeked my interest. I went to the website, and stumbled across a link to something titled -Angel Babies- so I clicked on it not knowing how it would impact me. It was a blog that told of a couple who's baby was stillborn. there were many couples to read about. As I sat at the computer just sobbing, I was suddenly very grateful for the perspective that my Heavenly Father was giving me. I have been blessed with an Eternal family that I love so much. My Husband, my Eternal Companion who loves our Heavenly Father, and is a fantastic Husband and father. How blessed I am to be trusted with 3 of the sweetest spirits. I am so grateful to be a mom. I am so blessed to be able to kiss their sweet faces and love on them any time I want. How sad I feel tonight for the moments I take for granted. I realize that It doesn't matter how hard things are to come, I am grateful to know the fullness of the gospel, to have been sealed in the temple to a wonderful man, and to be blessed with my sweet babies. I Am Blessed
