Day 305 of 2016

Today was a good day. The Lord has blessed me with a very fun family. We were able to stay home tonight and greet trick or treaters all dressed the same. We like to do themes and this year was no different. We were blessed with nice neighbors who brought their cute kids. Our family had a good time. Halloween is not a religious holiday but the Lord blessed us with some family time and families are what make holidays special.

God Loves You!

Day 304 of 2016

Today the Lord prompted me on ways to help lengthen my primary lesson. Teaching 4 year olds can be tricky. The material is very easy to go through quickly. You have to be inventive sometimes on ways to lengthen the lesson. I am very grateful the Lord blessed me with ideas on how to make it longer and work out well.

God Loves You!

Day 303 of 2016

I was able to get up and run in the morning on a Saturday. That is a tender mercy (miracle). The Lord gave me the energy and motivation to not only get up and not sleep in but also to get my run in first thing. It was wonderful. I haven't had that sort of motivation or energy in a long time. It was a wonderful blessing today.

God Loves You!

Day 302 of 2016

Today I was able to get some things for Christmas. The Lord knows the care I try to put into some traditions we have and how stressed I get with deadlines like Christmas. Getting the purchases out of the way helps me concentrate on the true meaning of Christmas. I am grateful to have already gotten some done.

God Loves You!

Day 301 of 2016

I was able to give blood today. I am grateful the Lord gave me the opportunity and made me healthy to. Giving blood has new meaning for me since my moms life was saved because of blood donations from strangers. She could not reproduce her own blood while she was going through chemo treatments. I was reminded today of how blessed I am to still have my mom and part of that goes to the anonymous angels who donated blood. I hope that my donation can help someone else keep their loved one with the Lord's help.

God Loves You!

God Loves You!

Day 298 of 2016

Today I exercised. If you have been following me then you know I love to exercise but don't get to as often as I would like. Between teaching my children and getting sick and taking care of 2 households I don't get to do as much as I would like. I am so grateful when the spirit whispers, "Hey, now would be a perfect time." I realize it would be a good time to exercise and I jump on it. I did that today and it felt great.

God Loves You!

Day 297 of 2016

Today we had FHE at my mom and dad's house with my special needs brother. My brother was so excited to help give the scripture. He had his bible out and ready before any of us even sat down. I am so grateful the Lord blessed me with a brother who is a great example of loving Christ and wanting to learn about and talk about Him. It made my heart happy.

God Loves You!

Day 290 of 2016

Today I did more than I have in a week. I feel stronger and I am excited that I will be back to normal and 100% in a few days. The Lord didn't bless me with immediate healing but He has been with me through my weakness and now I feel Him as I get stronger as well. Also, He has given me a wonderful family that has stood by me and helped me.

God Loves You!

Today I received an email that gave me a coupon for dinner. It made everything affordable and I got to eat what I wanted without breaking the bank and I didn't need to cook as I am still sick. I am so grateful I received this coupon right when I needed it.

Even though I have been ill I was able to get everything done for a family party today. The Lord blessed me with family to help clean things up and I got all the cooking done. It all turned out wonderful. He also blessed our family with our little ray of sunshine who's motto is "Be happy!" We celebrate her light today and her laughter.

God Loves You!

Day 281 of 2016

I was able to get a free smoothie today. I have not been feeling well and with all the bills we have sometimes money is tight. I wanted a fruit smoothie to help my body get some nutrition. Getting a free smoothie was a tender mercy I was not expecting. I felt prompted to pursue a web site and signed up for their rewards club and next thing I know I have a free smoothie to celebrate my birthday last month. The Lord looks out for me every time I am sick and I am so grateful.

God Loves You!

Day 280 of 2016

I am grateful for fall. I love this season and am so grateful to the Lord for all the beautiful colors and the crispness to the air. The Lord knew I would be happy in a place with the season of fall. I am grateful He has placed me in the state and city I am in. I am very happy.

God Loves You!

Day 279 of 2016

Today I got to run on the treadmill and had the energy for it. I haven't had much energy for over a week. It was nice to stretch my legs. I am so grateful for the energy and time the Lord gave me to get a run in.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 278 of 2016

Today my little one had to go to the dentist. We had a bribe for her, she had a movie on, and she received a blessing. The dentist was able to do her work quickly and efficiently. I know it was the blessing that gave her courage and also gave me promptings at times as to what to say and how to comfort her so she was not upset or traumatized. It also saved us thousands of dollars by having him do it rather than go to a kid dentist who would put her to sleep and charge more. I am really grateful for all the blessings we received during this event.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 277 of 2016

Today I was able to get a lot of my work done. Cleaning up from camping is not easy. I got a lot put away and got my 3rd child caught up with school. I am grateful for tender mercies of the Lord in helping me to accomplish all I did.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 276 of 2016

I am so blessed and grateful to have a loving bishop (ecclesiastical leader in my church) to help me with problems and give counsel on things that are toubling me. The Lord truly inspires those He calls to lead His people. My husband and I met with him on how to deal with some friends in a legal matter and he was so understanding and helpful. I know He listens to the Lord and I can trust him. Bishops who listen and obey the Lord are His hands on earth.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 272, 273, 274, 275 of 2016

I have been camping so I haven't been able to post. These past four days I have felt the love and the hand of God being in His mountains. We have watched the beautiful stars each night, felt the warmth of a roaring fire at night, seen a doe in a golden field, heard the frogs croaking in a near by stream... It has been wonderful up there. I felt truly blessed to have the pleasure of being there. I am so grateful for nature and for the beautiful earth the Lord has given all of us.

God Loves You!
