Day 243 of 2015

Today kid #3 fell into a little creek while we were at a family gathering. She feel in just the right spot that she didn't get hurt and she only got a little wet. This spot was just the size of her little backside. I am so grateful that the Lord had her fall there or else she could have gotten really hurt. I am grateful the Lord watches over our children. I am grateful she was not hurt.

God Loves You!

Day 241 of 2015

Today we went to a ward party and I kept feeling impressed to invite a friend and make sure he knew to come and that he and his girls were welcome. I thought he wouldn't come. Well he did come and he had some desserts left over from a wedding he helped cater he wanted to get rid of. We told him to bring them with him to the party. Come to find out they didn't have a dessert at the party. So him coming added a dessert to the evening and he was able to not waste all the hard work he did. I am grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord.

Day 239 of 2015

Today I was able to keep my peace when someone was arguing against something I know to be right. It was someone close to me who was doing the criticizing so I did not want to hurt relations or offend. I was grateful that as I was being criticized the Lord gave me reassurance that what I was doing and what I thought was correct and to just hold my tongue. I did and it went alright. No one was angered and it went fine. I am grateful for promptings on how to behave.

God Loves You!

Day 237 of 2015

Today our oldest had a scary moment where she got lost from her group and felt alone. I was home and she could run home. I am not usually home at this time. I am so grateful the Lord arranged for me to be here to help her calm down and solve her problem. She was fine and she met back up with her group after a few minutes but to her she was alone. I am grateful the Lord was with her at that time and that He kept her safe and let her know where to go to find comfort.

Day 236 of 2015

Today I was prompted as to a good way to use up some left over pears that were starting to go too ripe. I know the Lord is saddened by waste and I hate throwing fruit out because I didn't eat it fast enough. I am grateful for the brilliant ideas He gives me when I am brain storming.

Day 235 of 2015

Today I was prompted on how to help a visitor to my primary class. He was very nervous and scared. He didn't want to leave his grandpas side. I was given how to help him feel more comfortable and it worked. The Lord helped me to help that little boy feel comfortable. By the end of class he didn't even want to leave to go with his grandma back home. I was very grateful for the help. Children are a mystery to me and it is nice to know I have an Expert I can go to.

Today I was given energy I did not have to do all I needed. RJ was out of town and I had two extra children to look after. This was a lot to do but I was given the strength I needed and I am very grateful the Lord blessed me with what I needed to do what was expected of me.

Day 231 of 2015

Today I was able to make dinner without any problems. There were some concerns that the meat might not be any good. It was still good and fresh and I didn't have to go to the store. I am grateful for this tender mercy from the Lord.

God Loves You!

Day 230 of 2015

Today I was thinking about why I know so many good people who seem to be always having trials and getting the short end of the stick and I know so many who are not the greatest people and they don't seem to have as many things go wrong for them. I was questioning the logic of it all and just.... Why? The Lord blessed me with an answer that enlightened me and then made me feel kinda silly for not just knowing it. Those good people use the trials to make them better. The Lord is polishing His diamonds and they really do shine for all the world. The people I know who have gone through some tough stuff and smiled and praised God, they are a light. They just shine. Those who choose the path of least resistance and who find fault with everything, those the Lord leaves alone. If He tried them it would only make them more bitter and turn from Him. He does not push them into activity because He might loose them all together. So, if you have trials in your life and you feel kinda picked on just remember you are one of the few the Lord is polishing. He will make you into something so beautiful and full of light if you will just close your mouth and let Him work.

God Loves You!

Day 227 of 2015

Today I am grateful for a wonderful family and for all they do for me. I am very blessed to live so close to so many of my family members. Not many can say that they can go shopping with their mother every Saturday and spend one on one time with her. I am really blessed and I am grateful that the Lord has always blessed RJ with the knowledge of where to live so that we can be happy.

God Loves You!

Day 226 of 2015

Day 225 of 2015

Fell asleep last night before I could post this.... Sorry!

I am grateful for little children. The Lord has blessed me with 4 children of my own and many others to be a mom figure to. Little children are so sweet.

I am very blessed to be able to spend so much time with my children.

God Loves You!

Today I am grateful for friends that we have and friends that we make and just friends in general. I keep saying it but the Lord has blessed us with some good friends. Friends are family you get to choose. The Lord knew we would need good people to stay sane and I am so grateful for it. We had a visit from two and have one on loan for awhile while he looks for a house. Our kids love them and we are happy to have them in our home so often.

God Loves You!

Today I am so grateful for a husband who knows me better than I know myself. He has been a comfort to me today when I didn't even know I needed that extra comfort. The Lord knew and He sent me RJ. I can't say how much RJ means to me. He is one of the best blessings I have ever received. The good Lord knows us all very well :)

God Loves You!

Day 219 of 2015

Today I was able to keep my mouth shut when usually I don't. You know how angels came and shut the lions mouths for Daniel? Today was kind of like that. I would have had problems if I had talked. The Lord helped me to see the error and to keep quiet. Sometimes I am very grateful for what the Lord helps me not to say instead of what to say.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 218 of 2015

I am so grateful for all the happiness the Gospel of Christ brings to me. Everyday the Lord blesses me with comfort and knowledge to handle daily problems and concerned I have. He prompts me to action when need be and fills my mouth when I communicate with others. I am so grateful for this daily help with little things that in the end make up my whole journey here on earth.

God Loves You!

Day 217 of 2015

Today I was able to spend some time with a sister of mine and have a good talk. I love times when I can sit down and have a quality talk with someone. I am grateful the Lord has presented me the opportunity to have more time with this sister. I am looking forward to the Lord helping our relationship to develop more.

God Loves You!

Day 216 of 2015

Today I was able to help a friend by being promoted to remove something from her house that would have caused problems later on in the day. I am grateful she went along with the promoting and I was there to help.

God Loves You!

Day 215 of 2015

Today I read a quote that really touched my heart and made me love the Doctrine and Covenants even more than I did before. These little tender mercies were the Lord sends me the right quote at the right time to make an impact on my heart and mind are wonderful. It made my Monday better.

God Loves You!

Day 214 of 2015

Today I was able to teach my Sunday school class (it's not mine anymore as they have a new set of teachers but I still feel a connection with them) again by subbing for their new teachers. I love these kids so much and it was a tender mercy for me to be able to teach them again and feel of their love and trust for me. The Lord loves the youth. I know He does. I have felt that and I know that as fact. The youth are major concern for Him. I feel so blessed that He trusted me as their teacher and has made it so that I can still sub in the class sometimes but still be fulfilling my other calling as well. The Lord knows what makes each of us personally happy. He doesn't have a deck of cards and randomly pulls something out of the 'happy deck' to bless us with. He blesses us in a personal way that He knows will touch our hearts and fill us with joy. He did that for me today.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 2013 of 2015
