Being grateful...

Amidst all our trials I have found so many things to be grateful for...

  • We have each other, what could be greater than that?
  • We have a very wiggly child on the way.
  • We have our Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally.
  • We have our brother Jesus Christ who died for us.
  • We have been blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost to lead and guide us.
  • We have a roof over our head.
  • We have food on the table.
  • We have clean clothes to wear (as long as I remember to do laundry) :D
  • We have wonderful families
  • We have great midwives who have guided and taken care of us through this pregnancy.
  • We have vitamins to give us nourishment (even though I'm tired of taking all of them)
  • We have great friends.
  • We FINALLY have some medical coverage (we're just hoping it works)
  • We have ice cream :)
  • We have working vehicles to get us from point A to point B safely.
  • We have temples where we can be sealed for all time and eternity.
  • We have a fuzzy not so little cat that gives us a reason to laugh.
  • We have a prophet who leads and guides us here on the earth today.
  • We have wholesome music.
While this list might seem long, it's not everything. We have lots to be grateful for, especially each other. Though I have been sick, tired, and in pain, I am grateful for the ability to expand our family. While they may be stubborn, children are a gift from God and I hope that we as parents will be able to raise this child unto righteousness so that he may be able to walk through the temple doors one day, serve a mission and be married for all time and eternity.
