My heart has been full today. I am blessed. Life is good. God is so aware of each of us. Intimately aware. I need to write a few things down so I don't forget:
This past week mom went in for a major surgery. I was worried for her, the out come, the diagnosis she might receive.... the list goes on. Also on the list was concern for who would watch my sweet boys when I had an emergency? My mom is my go to with the kids. I have a job and I lean on her at least a few days a week for a few hours. I was worried about how I was going to do it all, and who I could trust to leave my precious boys with in emergency situations for the next several months while mom recovered. Last Sunday was a fight to get to church. But, in the end I made the effort to be there and was greatly blessed. We made it by the skin of our teeth. Sacrament meeting was great. I felt like the message was just for me that day as it was about parenting and not engaging in power struggles, etc. Later, a friend stopped me in the hall out of the blue and says "I just love your boys so much! I don't know what it is about them, but every time I see them I just want to hug them. If you ever need a break or anything...you know who to call!". Little did she know what a direct answer to prayer she was that day. She is the PERFECT person to leave my kids with if I have an emergency in the next few months. It eased my fears and I felt Heavenly Father's love. This had not been a coincidence.
Today, I asked my husband for a blessing. I am struggling in parenting our boys. This is the most rewarding, but difficult thing I have ever attempted. I felt the need for divine help as we are facing particular challenges and I feel inadequate. Clint blessed me with patience, a clear mind, love, and kindness. I am so grateful for the power of the priesthood in my life. It is so wonderful to know you can ask for divine help when needed and feel confident in his love and support.
I am also seeing the hand of the Lord so much as we are being prepared for the future. Things have literally been dropped in Clint's lap for work and experience. He is continually being blessed with opportunities, experience, and knowledge. It has bee such a blessing.
I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of this gospel and our loving Heavenly Father. It is such a blessing and comfort in my life.
