THOUGHTS ON LIFE

Latley I have been experiencing trials in my life that I hope no one has to go through. But latley I just can't help but think how wonderful this life is. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband who is extremely patient with me, for my calling even though at times I want to walk up to my bishop and say "I'm done", my house even though it's not the best looking house, my job even though I work with picky doctors and rude patients, my family and etc. etc. I have been thinking a lot about how my life is and how lucky I am. About a month ago the young women and young men and leaders in my stake went on a tour to the humanitarian center and you couldn't help but get teary eyed in there. (If you haven't gone.. GO!) The church helps out so many people in the world who has very little.. babies are being brought home from the hospital in banana leaves or newspaper because they don't have a warm blanket. And others not having any food to eat. I think that some of us take this life for granted and not appreciating for what we have. After the tour I couldn't help but think all that I have... a warm bed to sleep in, brushing my teeth everyday, taking nice hot shower in the morning. etc. I also wanted to share that I have been following up on Nie Recovery it is sooo heart warming to hear the struggle that her and her husband are going through.. Her posts are so heart warming. The love that she has for her children and her husband.. her family who is rooting for them to recover from burns in a plane crash. If you have not seen the blog you should go to it. I couldn't imagine myself going through what they are experiencing. I have also been thinking for our soldiers out there fighting for our country. I love the freedom that we have in our country. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for the freedom that I have. On that note I am so gratful for my Heavenly Father who is always there for me in need. I know that he listens to my prayers and gives me the comfort that I need. We are so lucky to be in this life that we are in today. If you are struggling though heard times think of other peoples struggles that they go through. They could be bigger than yours. I hope that you will realize that you are not alone. I hope that you will take the time to think of the blessings in your life and how grateful they are to you.
