Day 271 of 2016

Today I was reminded of how lucky I am. As I was waiting for my mother to pick up her prescription from the pharmacy after we bought some groceries for a camping trip I saw a young man buying groceries. He had no money and was using a state program to pay for food for him and his young son.  I am so blessed to have my husband working and bringing in income so we can buy groceries and be able to go camping. We are not in want. The Lord has helped to make us self sufficient.

God Loves You!

Day 270 of 2016

Today it was my turn to give a lesson for our Family Home Evening. I honestly forgot and had not come up with a lesson. As I was trying to think of something a book came to mind that I knew exactly where it was. It was a child's book I hadn't read in a while and didn't remember what it was about. I followed the Spirit and thought, 'Whatever it's about I will just go with it.' It turned out to be about something that my husband and I have been meaning to talk to our kids about. I am grateful for the prompting to go get the book. It made a good lesson.

God Loves You!

Day 269 of 2016

Our class today was great. The Lord has been helping RJ and I to connect better with our kids. One of our boys even joined in one of the games, which he has never done. It was wonderful. The Lord is active in our class and I am grateful for that.

God Loves You!

Day 268 of 2016

Today I was able to listen to the first session of the General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This first session is for women. We all get together as family and friends and neighbors and watch it at one of the chapels nearest to us. Some go into Salt Lake City and watch it at the Conference Center but for the most part women watch it together at their own Stake Center (chapel). I am so grateful I was able to go with my oldest daughter and my mother and sit at the Stake Center with them. It was so much fun and I could feel the Spirit speak to me as I listened to the inspired words given. It was a wonderful night. God lives and He loves all of us.

God Loves You!

Day 267 of 2016

RJ and I were in a lip sync for a variety show. We were both nervous but it went very well. I am grateful that the Lord helped calm our nerves and also that He gave us the chance to do such a fun thing together.

God Loves You!

Day 266 of 2016

Today I was able to sit and listen to my oldest sing her little sisters to sleep. It was the sweetest moment I have had as a mom in a couple days. I have been blessed with very thoughtful and gifted children. They look out for each other (most of the time) and they love each other. The Lord has been very wise to send me who He did. Our family is just right for each other.

God Loves You!

Day 265 of 2016

Today was a very productive day. I am very grateful for all I was able to do. I know I didn't do it alone and I had help from the moment I got up. The Lord is my strength literally sometimes when I really don't want to go on. I swear He makes my body move and things get done.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 264 of 2016

Today I was able to cut my dogs hair on top of all my other duties. Our poor little Lady needed a cut something awful. The Lord blessed me with excellent multitasking abilities today and I got a lot done. I am very grateful when the Lord clears my head and helps keep everything on track.

God Loves You!

Day 263 of 2016

Today I got all the cleaning done I wanted to before our house was inspected even though I had to take everyone to the dentist. This was a miracle in itself. Also, only two of the five of us had a cavity. This is another miracle. Small miracles happen everyday, sometimes we just have to sit back and look for them after everything has settled down.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 262 of 2016

Today was a great day at church. I felt the Lord wanted me there and I made it to all 3 hours. I felt His spirit and am so grateful for the opportunity I have each week to go so that I can learn and grow.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 261 of 2016

Today we came home safe and were able to get a lot accomplished. We put our yard in order and even had time for a fire in our new fire pit. It was a lot of fun and I am so grateful for the time we had camping and for the time we had today to work together. What a blessing marriage and family are.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 260 of 2016

We were blessed to find a problem in our pipes in our trailer while camping. This came about in an odd way and started with our toilet overflowing. In the end we fixed a leak we didn't know we had and found our water heater. All of this was done and fixed without having to leave our camp site or buy any parts. It was a wonderful blessing.

God Loves You!

Day 259 of 2016

Today I have had a wonderful birthday right down to there being only one quart of my favorite ice cream being available at the store which RJ used to make me my annual cookie shake. Being lactose intolerant makes ice cream harder to find. I know the Lord has made this a wonderful birthday with earthly and heavenly angels to help. I am very blessed.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 258 of 2016

Today my check was more money than I was expecting and that was a tender mercy. With all our home repairs the extra money is welcome. I am so grateful for the extra little bit the Lord has sent our way. I know He is always aware of us.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 257 of 2016

Today I was a little bummed because I got a birthday present in the mail and after taking out the instructions and parts I saw that they had sent the wrong parts to me, or so I thought. I wanted to put it together and had been waiting for it. As I was wondering what to do and was going to go out to my husbands garage and see what he had to fix the problem I had a thought come to mind. Then in my minds eye I saw how it went together. They hadn't sent the wrong hardware, they had sent the wrong instructions. After doing what I was prompted to do the bench went together perfect. I am so grateful for the promptings of the spirit. I would have wasted a lot of time and energy trying to find a solution to the wrong problem. Having a constant guide is a wonderful thing.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 256 of 2016

Today I was very happy to get so much done. I was able to exercise and get housework done and help the kids with their school work. I know the Lord was helping and pushing me the whole way. He is a constant in my life. No matter what changes I know that the Lord is always there and is always in my corner helping me to be better.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 255 of 2016

Family is the best. As I sat on my back patio and enjoyed my breakfast I soon had all my kids and my husband out there with me. It become louder but it felt right. Sitting by myself was quiet and nice for a while but when my family came out it felt complete. I am so grateful the Lord gave me a beautiful family to keep me company and to keep me busy.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 254 of 2016

Today I was blessed to be able to get everything on my to-do list done. I am so grateful for the means, time and strength to do it all. I know the Lord helped guide me and my family in all our activities so that we could get everything done. I am very grateful.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 253 of 2016

We have been blessed with all the projects we have gotten done with our rock. I thought we were done but we found another use for it today and we have almost gotten it done. It has been wonderful. The Lord has strengthened my muscles and my motivation so we could do so much. I know I have had help all week long.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 252 of 2016

Today we finished our rock projects. This is a tender mercy because we should not have but I had 3 hours to work on it in the day and my brother and brother in law came over to help after RJ got off work. With those two things combined we finished tonight. I am grateful the Lord gave me the time and sent some helpers. It feels so good to be done!

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 251 of 2016

Today I was able to multitask very well and got all of my tasks that I needed finished done before 10:00 pm. I am so grateful that the Lord sharpened my mind so I could complete all these things. I know I am weak but with the Lord I can do anything, even move mountains (of rock).

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 250 of 2016

We have been very blessed by the Lord with all our house projects. My brother is letting us use equipment for free and getting material at cost. We have had the time to accomplish the tasks with holidays and weekends. The Lord has been very good to us and I am so grateful.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 249 of 2016

Today, with the help of my awesome brother, we were able to finish preparation for our park strips getting rock. I am so grateful the Lord gave us today to get it done and blessed us with my brother to help. It feels so good to finally have our rock projects for our house almost done. We just have the rock to be delivered and to smooth it out. I am so very grateful and happy.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 248 of 2016

We only had one little sunbeam today. This was a tender mercy for me because I was not feeling 100% and didn't want to wrestle five 3 year olds. The lesson went wonderful and we all had a good time. I am grateful for small mercies from the Lord.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 247 of 2016

Today we were able to get a lot done with our house. We had a good day working and getting things put in order. I know the Lord loves order so I know we have had help. I know the Lord has placed circumstances and people in our lives that has taken us to where we are now. I am so grateful for progress and the earthly angels the Lord has sent us to help things happen.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 246 of 2016

Today I was able to find a talk I was looking for in general conference. I had to start in 1980 and work my way, talk by talk, until I found it. There are two conference every year so I went through 14 conferences. At least I was only looking at one speaker's talks (He still had at least two a conference. Some he had 3 talks). I know the Lord was helping me and some kind family members from the other side so I could put together my little project. I am grateful for the help and that I got it done.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 245 of 2016

Today I was able to stay home and catch up on a few things that have fallen through the cracks while I have been with my dad. I got a lot done and I am so grateful the Lord aligned my day that school and the kids all worked out so I could get some cleaning done.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 244 of 2016

I was able to relax after RJ got home. He is such a blessing in my life. He came home and took over the kids school and let me have a break. It was very nice. The Lord blessed me with a wonderful help meet.

God Loves You!
