Day 365 of 2015

Today is the last day of the year! Crazy how time flies! Today I was able to get my oldest a phone which will let her call people but I control who she can contact and it tracks where she is. I am so grateful for this technology so I can feel she is safe. She is too young for a cell phone but this watch phone makes it so she can be as independent as one her age needs to be. The Lord truly has blessed us all with wonderful technology. He sent us a tender mercy today since we took the last one in stock and they were doing a special today and we also got some free items. I feel so blessed.

God Loves You!

Day 364 of 2015

Today I was inspired with a fun idea. My mom and I participate in a stair climb for cancer. This last year we were on someone else's team. This coming year I had the prompting to make our own team in honor of my mother, who so valiantly fought and survived stage 4 cancer. I know it touched her and hopefully we can raise money to help those still fighting and those who's battle has not even begun yet. I know the idea didn't come from me.

God Loves You!

Day 363 of 2015

Today I was able to make it through my workout. This, I know, only happened through divine help. My body is rebelling at becoming fit. I know I have heavenly help everyday to curb my appetite and get through my workouts. I know our body's are a temple so it is important to the Lord that we take care of them. I am grateful He is helping me in my effort to get mine healthy.

God Loves You!

Day 362 of 2015

Today I was blessed with the energy to do the things that I wanted and needed to. I haven't gotten this much accomplished for a few days because I haven't felt well. I am so grateful for the healing I have recieved and for the motivation. 

God Loves You!

Day 361 of 2015

Today the Lord finally was able to soften my heart. I have felt Him trying to get in for days but I was too prideful to let Him. Today He sent my sweet husband to help me. I am grateful for the perfect match He sent me and how RJ helps me daily to want to be better.

God Loves You!

Day 360 of 2015

I made it through today. Sometimes that is how I see the Lord in my life is He gives me the strength to make it through one day and into the next. He never leaves me.

God Loves You!

Day 359 of 2015

Today we celebrate the birth and life of our Savior. He makes everything possible as He created all things under the direction of the Father. Without Him we are nothing and have nothing. I am so grateful for His willingness to fulfill our Father's plan and to rescue a soul as repetitive in sin as mine. I try so hard but sometimes I don't get it right. I am grateful He is there to help me pick up the slack and to help me reach higher. I know my Savior lives and loves me. I also know He loves you.

God Loves You!

Day 358 of 2015

Today we spent a lot of time as a family. I am grateful for this season and for family. The Lord blessed me with a wonderful family to spend this special time of the year with. I am grateful for His sacrifice so that I can be with them forever. At this time I celebrate His life, His atonement and Him conquering death so that we all might live again with our Heavenly Family. Life is good because of Him.

God Loves You!

Day 357 of 2015

Today I prayed and prayed that a package that the postal service had lost would be found. It had a present for my brother. He would be very disappointed if Santa did not bring it. The Lord listened and answered my prayer. The package was taken to a neighbor and they brought it to me. I was so happy and so grateful. The Lord really does care about all aspects of our lives.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 356 of 2015

Today I was able to get a lot done and to spend time with my kids. I am grateful for these moments the Lord gives me with my children because I know I don't have many where we are all together. They will grow and with them growing so will our relationship. Having these moments when they are young and so full of life is a precious gift. I wish it was one that I unwrapped more often but I am learning to enjoy them and slow down a bit.

God Loves You!

Day 355 of 2015

Today my sister in law hosted a Christmas party for my kids and her son. I am so grateful the Lord gives us good family that we can do these things with. It was very nice of her and a welcome change of scenery for us. We had a great time and made some good memories.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 354 of 2015

The Lord lessened my pain this morning so I could attend church. I begged last night in my prayer that the cramps in my stomach would be manageable so I could still attend church. He listened and granted my request. I felt wonderful all throughout church and had a great time. I would have missed a very well put together Christmas program and would have missed my little Sumbeam class. I am so grateful I was feeling well enough to attend.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 353 of 2015

Today when I was shopping the stuff I needed for the kids to finish their Christmas was all on sale AND I found an extra coupon. I know the Lord prompted me to go today and look at the things I had given up on getting because buying 4 of most things gets expensive. With the sale all the things were within my budget. I got almost 3 for the price of one. The Lord answers prayer spoken and unspoken!

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 352 of 2015

Today RJ got a bonus we were not expecting but really needed. I am so grateful for the Lord blessing our lives. I know it is because we pay our tithing and try to do our best. The Lord's promises are sure.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 351 of 2015

Today I was prompted to investigate something with my sons school work. It paid off. He is far ahead in a few subjects because I had him doing a lesson everyday. He actually only needs to do 2 of them a week, not every day. This will help his work load and his stress (and mine!). I am very grateful the Lord prompted me to look into it so that I could be pleasantly surprised and relieved.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 349 of 2015

Today I was able to get all the things done I needed to. I am grateful to the Lord each time this happens. I know I can't do all I am responsible for with out the Lord's help. He is with me everyday providing strength and peace and clearness of mind. I am blessed to have access to Divine help.

God Loves You

Day 350 of 2015

I love snow. I am so grateful for the beauty of snow and a loving Father who gives it to us. Looking at the snow fall tonight made my spirit happy.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 348 of 2015

Today I was warned about an electrical problem by my nose and then the Spirit told me the place. If I hadn't been warned promptly it could have caught our wall on fire. I am very grateful for the companionship of the Holy Ghost so that we can be warned of dangers.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 347 of 2015

I love being at church and feeling the peace and comfort. I am grateful for the sabbath and that time I get to renew myself. The Lord blessed us all by giving us the sabbath to rest from our labors.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 346 of 2015

Today I was able to sleep in. This was a much needed rest. I am so grateful the Lord has blessed me with a thoughtful husband who cooked, cleaned and watched the kids while I rested. I feel very blessed today.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 345 of 2015

I was able to have a quiet moment with my two younger kids today. With being teacher to my two oldest I am very busy. I found an hour today where I had nothing that had to be done. I was able to play a game and relax. It did wonders to my morale. I am so grateful the Lord gave me a break and let me have a little fun with the two who don't receive as much of my attention.

God Loves You!

Day 344 of 2015

Today my dad was able to leave the hospital early. This I think was good for all the family. I am grateful the Lord blessed him to be well enough to leave and return to his home and family.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 343 of 2015

Today I am very grateful for someone who was inspired to go into the restroom at my dads work right when my dad was having a stroke. He was found promptly and recieved medical attention quickly. I know the Lord was watching over my dad and sent someone to his aid. Now he is in very good hands at the hospital and is comfortable. My dad has always been my hero. He was who I wanted to be like when I got older. I am so grateful the Lord is letting me be with one of my heroes for just a little longer on this earth. I am not ready to give him up yet.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 342 of 2015

Today I was able to help my daughter understand something with English. This is a miracle to me because grammar is my enemy. I hate grammar. And it hates me. On my daughters test today she was failing the same number of questions so I sat with her and watched her and through inspiration figured out her problem and was able to help her understand. She finally passed her test and we could all go to bed. I was very grateful.

God Loves You!

Day 341 of 2015

Today our Family Home Evening (FHE) lesson was in the car on our way to see some lights at our local zoo. I am so glad the Lord prompted me to instigate our lesson. We normally just have our activity be all of FHE if it is a time consuming one far from home but in December we make sure that every Monday the story of the Nativity is told so our kids will remember why we celebrate this time of year. I won't go into the issues I have with Santa and we DO want our kids to have fun but we also want them to always know and remember who is the real center of CHRISTmas. So we sang a song and had prayer and then RJ gave the first telling of the story. (We all take a turn so by Christmas everyone in the family has had a chance to tell the Nativity in his or her own way.) I could feel the spirit and it started our little outing with a feeling of the true Christmas spirit. So, I am grateful for the promoting because it made the night better.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 340 of 2015

Today the Lord prompted RJ to grab something for my primary class which I thought was odd and he thought was odd at the time and kinda an after thought. It was a book with a story about Pres. Monson and a train set. I didn't wind up teaching and just left my stuff on the table when my partner showed up to teach. She had it planned to tell the story in her lesson and was going to just show a little picture and paraphrase the story. I felt the spirit tell me that RJ had been prompted to get the book for the lesson and I gave her the book to read. I felt the spirit strongly in the room as she read the story from our book. I am so grateful the Lord is in the details and helped with our lesson today. 

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 339 of 2015

Today I was able to spend a lot of time with RJ. I am so grateful for this time the Lord gave me. We don't get time together too often and I treasured today. The Lord knew we needed a break from everything and He supplied many opportunities for RJ and I. I am very grateful.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 338 of 2015

Today our car passed emissions! I prayed so hard and I felt at peace. I know the Lord knows how important that vehicle is to the transport of our rather odd family. It seats 9 and we use all 9 a lot taking family places. I am so grateful for our car and that the Lord has made it work for our family for so many years. We are very blessed to have two working cars.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 337 of 2015

Today RJ was inspired to check something on our car and it fixed our 'service engine soon' light so we can pass inspection. I am so grateful that he was promoted to check into something before we went and spent a lot of money.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 336 of 2015

Today I have gotten back my normal attitude. I have prayed much and I am not as patient as I wish to be yet but though lots of prayer and help from a loving Father, Who has lots of patience, I feel myself again. The cloud of irritation is leaving. I am so grateful for the answer to prayer and the blessings that our Father gives us.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 335 of 2015

Today I was able to make it all the way through a workout I haven't done in years. This may seem small to you and you're wondering how God's hand comes into it but I prayed hard this morning that my body would be able to handle it and the Lord helped me, I know it. He will help any righteous desire and wanting better health is, in my mind, a good desire.

God Loves You!
