I feel so humble and grateful that the Lord has given me this opportunity to spend time with my family in such a beautiful place. It is wonderful being together and enjoying time as a family.
I don't know if it is just me or if it is the opposite in all things but 10 years ago my life wasn't what I had planned. Everything happening seemed to be out of my control and each day was a struggle. We had no money, many health problems, and a lot of struggles. I thank the Lord every day to be where we are today. (Obviously life isn't perfect and there are always struggles) ...
But Im so thankful my Husband has a job that can take care of our family and provide enough for us to do fun things together as a family. Im eternally indebted for the atonement and its healing powers in my life.
Im thankful for my children and their health and strength. Im thankful for a healthy body that allows me to be with my children. After many years in pain, in bed or sick I am so grateful for the medical procedures that have given me freedom and joy.
Im thankful for the strength that has risen from our weakness'.
I would like to say I would feel this blessed and thankful without the struggles we suffered years ago but I don't know. I do know that everyday I am thankful for all the Lord has blessed me with and I never forget that it is all from Him.
I loved this post. I need to remember to count my blessings.
ReplyDeleteAll he asks is that we keep His commandments and our covenants. This a wonderful reminder to be thankful.
