Gratitude

I just have this desire to write about how grateful I am for the blessings I have in my life. Life is hard for me right now. But as I have made scripture reading and prayers a priority for myself and family, I am more able to see the amazing blessings we are blessed with daily. I can not say it enough times, I am so grateful for my little boy. Each day he changes, becomes wiser, more curious, and just amazing. I hope each day that I am not failing him to badly as a mother. Every night I envy his energy. It appears as the night grows late he gains more energy. Tonight I snapped at him when he had climbed on the chair I was sitting on and wrapped his arms around my neck and yelled in my ear. He was just running every where and my tired mind couldn't keep up with him. To see how sad that made him melted my heart. I wish I could have the energy he does in the evenings. He is so GOOD. He has the most perfect heart; filled with such great unconditional love. I look up to him and only wish I could be as good. It's such a blessing for me to be able to stay home with him. Yes, times a very difficult for us. Choosing to be a house wife and mother has brought some amazing blessings to our whole family.
Some other blessings....we have some great friends here in Vernal. Our kitchen is always filled with food, thanks to some great visiting teachers. Prayer and the visiting teaching program are some powerful tools our Heavenly Father has blessed us with. The friends I have made through playgroup are such a delight. They are very supportive of me and my family. Several have proved themselves as great listeners and shoulders to cry on. It's nice to have when one's family is so far away.
