Oh my goodness I have SO SO much to be grateful for and I'm going to take a minute and list those wonderful things I have. As a reminder to myself of how much I have and also to acknowledge my Father in Heaven's hand in all the wonderful things in my life. I am so blessed and have so much!
- I have to start out with my amazing husband. He is so good to me. I have never felt so unconditionally loved by anyone. I know I could never do anything that would make Jeff stop loving me. That is an incredible comfort. He is such a hard worker. He has been such a rock to me on my emotional rollercoasters. He has taught me to chill out, to have some fun, to laugh, to not take life so seriously. I love him so very much and am so so grateful he's mine forever!
- Of course my kiddos are next- Skylee is six and a smarty pants. I'm so grateful school comes easy to her and she adores it. She is an amazing helper when it comes to Brielle. Brielle is six months now and Skylee still can't wait to hold her and feed her and help me in any way. She is a great big sister. I rely on her a lot. Jaston is three and a handful but a sweetie. He is very sensitive to other people's feelings. He accidentally breaks things and spills things often but is quick to say "I'm so so sorry!" and he says it with all his sweet little heart. Brielle is just the sweetest thing this side of heaven. I seriously can not get enough of her precious smile. I am completely smitten with this little one. She has me wrapped around her finger. She is FINALLY sleeping through the night which is something to be on it's own bullet. It's amazing to feel rested when I wake up in the morning!
- I am so blessed to have an amazing support system. I have an amazing extended family. You can't get any better than my parents, sisters, brother in laws, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws. I'm talking THE best family a person could ask for. I could not be more grateful or ask for anything else in my family.
- I have the gospel and all of my brothers and sisters from it. I can't believe what an incredible support the church brings to my life. My whole life would be completely different if I wasn't a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It has helped me develop a relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ. I have come to learn to rely on my Heavenly Father; to dedicate my life to Him. I have learned he can support me through all of my struggles. I have learned that this is not the end. We can live with Them again and we will see our family and friends again on the other side. I know that if we make the right choices here we can live in eternal joy with our family forever. I know where I can turn to find peace and I know my purpose here. I don't think there is anything more important than that.
- Along with the gospel is the temple. I am so grateful for the peace I have found there and the answers that have come to me when I have been in that amazing escape from the world.
- I am so grateful for a home to live in, vehicles to drive, never wondering where my next meal is going to come from, hot water, electricity, internet, clothes, shoes, a dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, dryer, beds, toilets, my body.
As you and I can see I have a lot to be grateful for. I know the list could go on and on. I don't think it's fair to our Heavenly Father for me to be down about life when I have so so so much to be grateful for. Life is good! We all have so much in our lives. I am committing right now to being better at focusing on all the blessings I have rather than the bad that is out there. There is too much good to ignore it. So that's my rant for the day ;) If you made it to the end of this LONG post- go thank Heavenly Father for your blessings, I am headed that way now.
