A TIME TO BE THANKFUL!!!!

I love my life!
This week was the first time I was able to witness the most adorable conjoined twins. Afterwards it got me thinking what it must be like for that mother to tend to the needs of her girls daily. From carseats to high chairs, to clothes. You name it, she faces a lot each day.
After I left I felt like the spirit had wispered to me saying," no matter what struggles, trials, or challenges you may face someone out there has it much harder". It opened my eyes to how grateful I need to be for the challenges I have faced. So this was a perfect week to post this.

As a Mother, and a daughter of GOD I have faced some difficult trials over the past two years. As I have relied on God, friends, neighbors and family, and some medications(literally)it has quickly become the best two years. I have gained back my testimony of God and of life. I am a much stronger and happier person. I love living each day.

* I have overcome a mental illness: Bio-polar (that's where the medication comes in). I have received the ability and the desire to love anyone that is going through a challenge in their life. There is no reason to judge an others pain. I am grateful for the thousands of prayers my husband has said for me and for not giving up on me. Even though what I was going through caused him so much pain. He searched and searched for a treatment that would help me and it did,100%!

* I am grateful for my kids unwavering devotion and love for me. Despite what I have put them through. I love their examples and their desires to serve GOD!

* Financially we have had a HUGE set back! My husband had to quit work to stay home with me. In the process he started his own company, in the hopes of having something to do and a possible income. Well we lost our shorts, shirt, Shoes and everything else we could have been wearing. We have been stripped down to our nakedness, and in that is where I have found my soul, my testimony that is deep inside. I have had to rely strictly on my faith in My Loving God and my gratitude and devotion for My Savior. I have learned that everything materialistic can be taken from me, and I will still have everything I need to live the most happy, fun-filled life.

* I have purpose in daily life. To serve my Heavenly Father. Whether that's in my calling at church, my family, my friends, or with a stranger.

* I am trying to find humor in the happenings of daily life!

* I am trying to find a reason to smile daily!

* I love sunrises and sunsets. They bring me peace and a definite SMILE! Hope you enjoy!
