Day 365 of 2016

Today I was able to find all my girls their new pajamas. Not something huge for most people but I had 3 girls who were tired and over stimulated from an exciting day. Finding all my girls new and favorite pair of pajamas helped calm everyone down and get them into bed. I am grateful I listened to the prompting and found them. The Lord knew my girls needed their sleep.

God Loves You!

Today we had a wonderful evening with our Mimi. We enjoyed each other's company and my son learned to play Chinese checkers better. I am so grateful the Lord gave us such a wonderful grandmother to spend time with and I am grateful we have such a nice relationship with her.

Day 363 of 2016

Today the Lord helped us find a sway bar to my dads trailer. He lost it after dark so it was almost impossible to find. We said a little prayer and the Lord put all the conditions right so that my husband could see it in the road. I am grateful we found it.

God Loves You!

Today we were blessed to get a gift from RJ's boss. I am so grateful that they love and appreciate him. They treat him so good and make him feel good about the work he does. I am so very grateful the Lord brought him to this job and that we are doing so much better now because he is happy.

Today RJ was able to stay home with us. His work gave him the day off for the holidays. This was a lovely blessing. We all stayed home and just enjoyed the day. No stress, now running around. It was wonderful and just what we needed.

Day 358, 359 and 360 of 2016

This is a three day post because we have been really busy. My heart is full though. The Lord is wonderful.

358- We went caroling around to houses today and we felt prompted to go and knock on two doors that had some elderly folk who are very dear to us. It made their night and they were so happy to hear and see us. It made me feel so loved and I felt the Lord wanted them to know they were not forgotten and they were loved.

359- I love Christmas Eve! It is always filled with family and lots of fun. We saw all our family in this area. Christmas is about Christ and how He made it possible to be with our families forever. I am so grateful for the family He gave me.

360- One of my favorite days of the year. I love that today is dedicated to Christ and family. He is the best gift I could receive and the gift of eternal families is a gift I have everyday. Merry Christmas everyone! I hope it was full of family, love and the spirit of Christ.

God Loves You!

Day 357 of 2016

Today my son earned another 💯 on his spelling test. At the beginning of the year it would take 3 tries for him to get above 80. Now he gets 100 or in the 90's on his first try. He has been working so hard and I know that the Lord has helped him. I know the Holy Ghost helps him remember his words so he can do well. I am so grateful the Lord helps my children all the time. It give me such comfort as a mother.

God Loves You!

Day 356 of 2016

Today I was able to go have lunch with my mom, just the two of us. It has been a long time since we could do that. It was really nice to talk and have a good time together. My mom is one of my best friends. I'm grateful that the Lord gave me a wonderful mother and a good friend all in one.

Day 355 of 2016

I am grateful for friends. We went around and gave our friends little gifts from the kids. It was so much fun to see the kids faces as they gave their presents away. I love this season and the feeling of giving and good will. I am glad we found the time that we could go delivering as a family.

God Loves You!

Day 354 of 2016

Today I was able to take 3 of my 4 children shopping individually for presents for their siblings. The thought and love they put into it was very endearing. I am so grateful the Lord blessed me with such wonderful children. They drive me crazy most days but they are good kids and they do love each other. What a wonderful blessing.

God Loves You!

Day 353 of 2016

Today we had a wonderful family gathering. I am so grateful the Lord has blessed me with a family and a house that we can gather in. We have so much fun together and I love having them in my home. The Lord's spirit was here and I felt it testify of the importance of family and enlarge my love for all of them. I love Sundays.

God Loves You!

Day 352 of 2016

Today I was able to help a friend move. I didn't know if I would be able to because I have an infected toe and I couldn't even wear shoes yesterday. I prayed last night that I would be able to wear shoes and help. I woke up this morning and was able to put on shoes and I lasted all day with shoes on. I am so grateful the Lord blessed me with healing so I could help a friend.

God Loves You!

Day 351 of 2016

Today my son was his old self. He was sick all night. He was promised in a blessing that if he rested he would get well soon. I was expecting Saturday. He ate and drank today and was well. I made him stay in bed but his color came back and his energy and his appetite. I am so grateful for the powers of the priesthood and the power of God's love.

God Loves You!

Day 350 of 2016

Today I was able to do something so fun with my husband. We were able to play Mr. and Mrs. Claus for a special needs gathering. I was a little worried because I have an infected toe and my outfit involved wearing tall heels. I asked the Lord to help me last through  the activity and that's all I needed. My prayer was granted. For the activity I was good. But when it was over the pain returned and I couldn't walk in the heels again. I am so grateful for His help. It meant so much to the kids and will be a cherished memory.

God Loves You!

Day 349 of 2016

Today I was able to keep my temper when my youngest was not cooperating at the store. I am working very hard to be more patient and I think I accomplished it today with the help of the Spirit. The good Lord knew I needed help and I was not disappointed. I hope that I can continue to get better.

God Loves You!

Day 348 of 2016

I love when the Spirit guides me and I have a good discussion with one of my children. My oldest daughter and I had a good talk about the priesthood and God's love for all His children.

Day 347 of 2016

Today I was able to find a simple piece of wood we needed for family night. In December we have each of the kids take a turn telling the nativity story on Monday night for family night. Tonight our son was telling the story and we realized the set we let the kids use to tell the nativity was missing the angel. It is a simple set of little wooden pieces with stickers on the front that are the angel, wise men, Mary, baby Jesus in His cradle and so forth. The angel is a pretty important part of the story. We looked but as time was growing short I called off the search and he used a replacement angel from another set. As I was sitting there I had the very clear impression of where to look. I went right over, found the angel and gave it to my son. I am grateful for inspiration on even simple things like a lost block of wood but to my kids is an angel.

God Loves You!

Day 346 of 2016

Today I was able to have an honest discussion with my son. I am so grateful for the Spirit to tell me when and what to say sometimes. Being a parent is a hard job and I would not be able to do it without the help of the Spirit.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 345 of 2016

Today I was able to spend time with my parents. I love both my parents. I am grateful the Lord has seen fit to let me have them here with me on earth still. They have both had major health problems. I am very blessed to still have them here.

God Loves You!

Day 343 of 2016

My daughter was very sick yesterday. She received a blessing last night. She slept all through the night and then was much better today and even took a nap, which is not normal for her at all. I am so grateful for her healing.

God Loves You!

Day 342 of 2016

Today I was prompted as to how to take care of my daughter who got a stomach bug. She has been sick all day but is doing better because, I believe, of promptings I recieved and followed through with. I am very grateful.

God Loves You!

Day 341 of 2016

I was able to take a treat to a neighbor who needed it. I also was prompted to contact a friend before I went over for a visit we had planned. She wasn't going to make it and as I have a head cold I was grateful not to be standing in the cold waiting for her. The Lord takes good care of me.

God Loves You!

Day 340 of 2016

Today my dad found my sons ds that he lost in the snow. It has been outside for almost a week. The snow melted enough my dad found it today. It was still on and it still works. I know the Lord helped save my boys ds. I felt a calm and sweet assurance when we were looking for it that it would be found and it would be alright. My impression was correct and I am grateful the Lord gave me and my family peace until it was found.

God Loves You!

Day 337 of 2016

Today I was able to teach my son a lesson on being sensitive to other people's feelings. I was inspired with what to say. The Lord always knows how to put things better than me. I am grateful that I am never alone in my parenting. I always have Someone who knows more than me.

God Loves You!

Day 336 of 2016

I am not a very social person. I don't go to many social functions because it stresses me out. I am happy that today I went to a meeting of our women's group for church and I did alright. I wasn't too stressed and I had a good time. I am grateful the Lord helped to strengthen me so I could relax a bit and not be too anxious.

God Loves You!
