Well it seems like there has been a lot of people with a LOT of trials lately. Trials that make my life seem really great. It seems like those trials of such dear friends come at times that I need to put my life into perspective (again) and appreciate all that I have and be thankful for so many blessings.
I am thankful that Brandon has a great STABLE job. Especially with the economy we are in now, that is a BIG one. But he works hard for our family. I am thankful that we have a home on our 5 acres. I am thankful that I am able to stay at home with our kids. I do watch other children in our home...(got to pay those dang student loans somehow...:) but I am thankful there is a way for me to help out financially a bit, and the biggest blessing is being with our little ones while they are home. I know there are so many moms who would love that opportunity and dont get it. So I am very grateful for that. I am so very thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is my foundation. Without this very firm foundation, my life would have a lot more shaky places. I am so thankful that I have a testimony of this gospel. That I know without a doubt, our little sweet angel, Steven, will be with us again someday. When we lost our baby, a part of me died too. But the one thing that gets me through this is knowing that I will hold him again. That our family is an eternal family and we will be together. I am also so thankful for my kids who make us laugh everyday. Sometimes, it takes a while for the laughter to come, but at the end of the day when Brandon and I are talking about the things that happened with them, we end up having a good laugh. I am thankful that we are all healthy. Yes, I have major thyroid issues right now, but my kids are healthy. Brandon isnt having any hip problems right now. And I have a new doctor that changed my meds and I feel better than i have felt in a LONG time. So, life is good. We have 2 dogs and cats. And now have baby chicks. The sun shone today! We watched New Moon tonight. I was able to hug each of my kids goodnight and tell them I love them. Life really is ok. My trials are very small compared to some others.
