Being Thankful!

Sometimes it is soo hard to be thankful! I know you all understand this! Somedays you have a child who tests you to you just simply blow up, or you have a child who just can't seem to listen at all that day! Sometimes you have a husband who doesn't seem to be on the same page as you (ok most of the time), sometimes you, your husband or your children just simply wake up on the wrong side of the bed for no reason at all! Sometimes you have a child who just needs you, and can't leave your side especially when you have ton of house work to do! Sometimes you have a child who is whiney but there doesn't seem to be any real reason to be and it's driving you CrAZy! Sometimes you feel like your kids are raised in a BARN but you live in a house! Sometimes ( ok 90% of the time) you feel like you are the only one who know how to do the dishes or sweep the floor or clean a bathroom!! But at the end of the day it just doesn't seem to matter! When you sit down and you hold your children or kiss your husband you realize that those things aren't important and that you are so greatfull to have a family and friends! I am sooo THANKFUL for ALL of my Family, they have been a great support through all the good and the bad for the last 6 months! Where would we be without each other? Where would we be if we didn't know that Families Are Forever?!

Amen to that Jennie! If we didn't have family and friends life would be harder than it already is. This has been a hard year for many. But a lot of good things have happened too. President Dicter F. Uchtdorf said, "Make a courageous decision to hope, even when everything around you contradicts this hope." Such good advise!
See ya Saturday!

KEEP YOUR CHIN UP, SWEETY.
LIFE IS A HAND FULL, AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. BUT YOUR LOVED AND LOVED AND LOVED. YOUR MOM ISN'T FAR FROM YOU. EXPERIENCE IS WHAT WE GET, WHEN WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT. YOUR HAVING A LOT OF EXPERIENCES RIGHT NOW. WE KNOW WHAT EXPERIENCES DO FOR US. THEY MAKES US STRONGER AND BETTER.
THANK HEAVENS FOR EACH OTHER.
KEEP THE FAITH,
I LOVE YOU TONS

OK, so I read this and teared up instantly. Our kids must be related. You're absolutely right, family is what matters and those moments when time stops and the spirit whispers "this is eternal."

Amen. Also, did you watch ER last night? It totally made me cry and realize how life can change in an instant. I just wanted to go hug my sleeping kids. So thankful that I have them.
