Day 364 of 2014

Today I am grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost to tell me things about people that I would not otherwise know and to warn me about people and how to act around them for my protection and the protection of my family. I was around a man today who I was warned to be nice to but not get overly friendly with. I trusted the feeling I got and kept my distances while being nice to him. I used to know him but he has chosen a path with his life that has made his life very hard and has left him with few people who still trust him and that trust is limited. I feel bad for him but I am grateful for the Spirit that told me how to treat him kindly without putting me or my family in an uncomfortable situation. The Lord loves all His children but He does have to warn us to be cautious with some, just like we do with our children.

God Loves You!

Day 363 of 2014

Today I am so so grateful for the Lord blessing me with a house against the storm raging outside! We have our own house that is in good condition and has no holes or cracks. The storm outside sounds and looks bad and is blowing, quit forcefully, snow everywhere in a very harsh manner. I am so grateful that we have strong windows and doors and a proper roof over our heads to keep the storm out so we can enjoy watching it from within. The Lord has been very good to us.

God Loves You!

Day 362 of 2014

A tender mercy from the Lord today was that although I was not able to attend church or teach my class my sweet husband recorded him teaching the lesson for me in Sunday school. It was wonderful to feel I was a part of the lesson even though I couldn't be there. I am so grateful the Lord made it possible for me to hear the lesson even though I was home not feeling well.

God Loves You!

Day 361 of 2014

Today I was blessed to spend a lot of time with my brother and his family. We all agreed to remodel my moms kitchen as her and my dads Christmas present. RJ and my brother did all the work while my sister in law and I watched the kids with my mom bouncing between both. It was fun to talk and visit and laugh with my family as we all worked together. I am very blessed to have a friendship with them. Not only do I love them because they are family but I like them as people. Sometimes you don't get both with family. The Lord has blessed me with a great family and I was blessed today to be able to be part of the fun.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 360 of 2014

Today RJ didn't have to go to work. He got to stay home and play with us. I am very grateful for this and see it as a blessing from our Heavenly Father. This is the first year RJ has had Christmas paid and his work gave him today paid too as a gift. It has been a great blessing for our family. The Lord loves us and knows our needs and I am very grateful for Him being there for me and my family.

God Loves You!

Day 359 of 2014

Our state's Christmas present was a white Christmas. We woke up to snow today. I was very excited. I don't know why but it makes Christmas special with snow and I was missing it very much. I am very grateful the Lord answered many prayers and made it snow today. It was beautiful and made the earth white and pure, just like the baby born over 2,000 years ago. A good reminder of how we come into the world and how we should try to stay. He set the perfect example and lead the way. I pray we all follow the example of our Savior throughout the year and in the years to come.

God Loves You!

Day 358 of 2014

Today we received some unexpected money. This I know to be a direct result of fasting and prayer. I am so grateful that the Lord listens to prayers and answers them. Sometimes the answers are very unexpected and not quite what you were looking for but He always answers them in the way best for you and the best with what you give Him to work with. I am very grateful for the loving Father He is.

God Loves You!

Day 357 of 2014

I was with my sister who can't walk very well and we needed to park at a store. Yes, a miracle did happen and one opened right in front so that we could go right in. I know the Lord was looking out for my little sister and I am very grateful He did.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 356 of 2014

Today I was prompted to react quickly when I heard a commotion downstairs. I usually let my kids work their problems out so that they can learn to problem solve. Today I felt impressed to hurry downstairs and I was very glad I did. My son had broken a glass object and I needed to clean up the glass before someone got hurt, which I did. I am very grateful for the Lord prompting me when to get involved and when to let them work it out themselves.

God Loves You!

Day 355 of 2014

This morning my alarm was the Spirit. It reminded me that my daughter had a talk in primary (children's organization in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). I am so glad I received that reminder. She had enough time to write it and talk about it and then did an awesome job presenting it. I am so grateful and blessed to have the Holy Ghost with me to help me remember things and to help me get things done.

God Loves You!

Day 354 of 2014

Today I was witness to a protest against our police force. I feel very strongly on this matter and was not happy about the protesters. They were rude, ignorant and scary in voice and apparence. Because of the scene they were causing and because they were offending and scaring those around them the police were there. I got the very strong prompting to go and thank the officers there for their service and let them know that the uproar was a small minority and that we supported them and were grateful and I wished them a Merry Christmas. I am so grateful the Lord blessed me with this opportunity so that I could thank these fine officers and let them know they were appreciated. It blessed my life to feel that pride in them and know that there are men and women out there still willing to lay down their lives for me. I know Another who did that and He is who we celebrate each year at this time. I am grateful for those willing to follow His example and serve and protect their fellow man in the capacity that they can and know how. They are not perfect but like all of us, they are trying. God bless them and God give them courage.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 353 of 2014

Today my brother gave us a gift that will bless our entire family. He did not need to and I am very grateful he did. I am also grateful that he listened to the promptings of the spirit as I also know this is a gift from the Lord. Answers to prayers so often come through mortal men who get to act as angels at times. I am gratfeul to the Lord and to my brother for their love.

God Loves You!

Day 352 of 2014

Today while doing the dishes I almost dropped a crock pot and it probably would have broke. I caught it and am not even really sure how. I know the Lord was watching out for me (and my crockery). I am very grateful He made me sure handed when I needed it.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 351 of 2014

I am very grateful for the knowledge I have of a God in Heaven. I had a discussion with my daughter today about our Father and how much He loves His children. I was very pleased with how strong her testimony was that He loved her and would not let evil things happen to her. I am grateful for the opportunity the Lord gave me today to talk to her about it.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 350 of 2014

Today I was prompted to answer the phone although it was a number I did not recognize. I don't normally do that. I was going to ignore it. I am glad I answered it. They need help in my daughters class with her Christmas party. I like to go and help and spend time with my daughter. I know the Lord knew I would want to be there so He gave me a nudge to answer the phone. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to go and help out.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 349 of 2014

Something of mine was broken today by one of my children. Not on purpose but it was done while they were doing something they shouldn't have been doing. This was something I use daily and often and it was even personalized by my husband for me. I was not happy. There was some lecturing that went with said broken object but really loosing it and blowing my top never happened. The Lord reminded me that it was just an object and that I could get a new one. That my child didn't mean to break it and that they did feel sorry. The phrase that the Lord kept repeating in my head was, "She is more important. Speak carefully." I am so grateful the Lord helped calm me down for this event and that I think I handled it okay. I know I handled it better than I would have without Help.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 348 of 2014

Today I am very grateful for my mom. So much in my life I have seen the hand of God through her. She has been a strength to me and has been a loyal friend and comforter. Today is her birthday and we celebrate her life but I am grateful for her choosing to have me that I could be in her life. She is a choice lady and I wonderful mother. I know the Lord put me in the right family and that I was always meant to be her daughter.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 347 of 2014

Today I was prompted to look at my receipt after I got home from shopping. When I looked I saw that even though the cashier had bagged an item for me, he had neglected to ring it up. I had never paid for it. So I went back to the store and paid for the item and felt much better. If I had not looked at my receipt I never would have known and I would have an item I did not pay for. Now, was it my fault? No. Would I have been held accountable for it? Probably not but I am grateful the Lord let me know so that I could be honest, even when it wasn't my mistake.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 346 of 2014

Today I went to the doctor. I was diagnosed as pre diabetic in September. I was devistated and wanted to clean up my act so I did not get full on diabetic. With the help of the Lord (lots of help) I have lost 20 lbs so far. I have many more to go but He has helped to motivate me and to keep me strong when I have wanted to give up. I am very grateful for the great Coach He is in my life and for all the encouragement He has given me. I know I would not have come this far without Him. Very grateful today.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 345 of 2014

Today I am grateful for inspiration that tells me when I can help someone. Whether it be a text saying what they needed right at that moment or a hug or a smile or a note sent through the actual mail. Somedays I just have a feeling that I am needed and I do what I am promted to do. I don't always see the fruits of it immediately but sometimes I do. I am grateful I can lift one of the Lords children just a bit. That's what we are all here for, to do what He would do if He was. And He went about doing good.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 344 of 2014

Tonight I had a really fun night at the Zoolights with my family. I am grateful the Lord blessed us all to be able to go together. We had a fun night and spent time as a family. The Lord knows how important family is and I only have a few brothers around to be with me so I am very grateful for the opportunity I had.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 343 of 2014

Today, for whatever reason, the Lord blessed me with a full heart toward my husband. He hadn't done anything special or out of the ordinary. We hadn't had a fight and made up. I didn't watch a mushy love story. The Lord just quietly reminded me of what a great man I have and how much I love and adore him. He makes my days and keeps me warm at night. He is my strength when I am weak and he is my heart when mine is broken. I don't know why the Lord felt to bless me with such a wonderful man or why He blessed me today with the feelings of added joy and contentment towards him but I enjoyed it and will continue to all my days.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 342 of 2014

Tonight at FHE my boy bore his testimony. It was very short but very sweet. I am grateful for the Light of Christ that touches him and has helped his testimony to grow to the point that he can bare it all by himself and I know that he knows and feels what he is saying, he is not just parroting what he hears. I am grateful the Lord has blessed him and in turn has blessed me as a mother by having him.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 341 of 2014

Today I had a really great time teaching my lesson. I know that the Lord was there every second helping me and guiding my discussion and my responses. I know that the Lord helps those who prepare and have a sincere desire to teach His word. I am very grateful for His help and guidance as I taught about His life and how He taught, especially since I didn't have RJ or my team teacher there to help. The Lord was my team teacher today and I am very grateful for His help.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 340 of 2014

Today I was able to run like I wanted to. I know that doesn't seem like that would be God's hand but I know that He knows how important it was to me to get my run in and I know He helped me to find the time and then to have the kids be good while I ran and my youngest to take her nap and sleep the whole time. All of those things lined up tells me that I had heavenly help. I am very grateful.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 339 of 2014

Today I was able to help get someone a blessing who I know the Lord wanted to have one. I am grateful that although I do not have the authority to give blessings I still do have the Spirit with me always that I can do the Lord's will and I can feel His Spirit and His love. I am grateful for the opportunity He gave me to be an instrument.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 338 of 2014

I truly believe that there are no coincidences in life. We are guided by our own decisions and by the loving Hand of our Father. I don't believe in karma or luck. I know I was guided to look at something on the Internet and I found a gift for someone. This someone needs some love right now and I am grateful that I found this item. I love that the Lord knows what we like and dislike so much that He knows what little trinket or gift will lift the spitit of His child and even though it is secular to have 'things' it turns spiritual when that 'thing' can gladen a heart, fix a friendship, break down a wall and other great things. I know the Lord is ever guiding us in the direction we need to be in IF we listen to Him and obey Him. He is really great that way.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 337 of 2014

Today the Lord blessed me with patience when someone I am having trouble with came for a visit. I was blessed also with Him putting His hand over my mouth so I didn't say anything unbecoming. Very grateful for the restraint I was blessed with today.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 336 of 2014

Today I got the chance to talk to someone I have not spoken to in months for various reasons. I felt prompted to share my feelings and I did so. I know they were not received and were not believed but I am grateful the Lord gave me the opportunity to share and prompted me to do so. I felt better afterwards and felt my comments were guided. It was not a relationship building experience and solved nothing between us but I felt it did me good to express my love for this individual. I know the Lord was with me.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 335 of 2014

Today I was blessed to remember to have family prayer with my kids in the morning. I am really bad at remembering things and even worse in the morning. I want my children to go out of this house armed with power from Heaven but I forget so often. This morning I was prompted by the Spirit to remember and I know it helped. My oldest even said it made a difference. I am grateful for the reminder and pray I get it again tomorrow.

God Loves You!
