This is going to be another post of a lot of days together. I am still really tired at night because of my surgery so it isn't hard to post every night. I hope to get back into every night soon. For now hopefully you will forgive one post for 5 days.
208- Today I was able to rest and spend some time with my kids. I have really enjoyed all this down time to spend with my kids. I have been blessed with some good kids. They are not perfect and we still have our bad days but they are very caring and have been so thoughtful taking care of me.
209- I was able to get up and make dinner for our family. It was only throwing some chicken and tator tots in the oven but it made me feel good that I could help. The Lord has blessed me with a good family and they have done so much for me. I am grateful I could give a little back today.
210- RJ was able to take the tape off my stitches. This had the potential to be very painful. The tape needed to come off because after two and half weeks my skin was reacting to the adhesive and I was getting sores so it had come time to remove them. I am very grateful because the tape came off very well after being saturated with rubbing alcohol. I know that I would have been less comfortable if it had not been for the Lord helping my pain levels.
211- Church today was great. One of the speakers, a man I really respect, said, "Christlike attributes are forged in the fire of adversity." I know I needed to be at sacrament meeting today so I could hear that. If we want to grow, if we want to progress and be like our Savior then we need to go through a lot. Being a good person doesn't get you an easy ride. In actuality it gives you a harder one. The better you get, the harder the adversity to make you better. It's like your muscles. If you want them to grow, you push them harder. So it is with our spirit. I am glad I was well enough to go.
212- Today I went to the doctor and I am healing well. I am so grateful for the Lord's help in my healing so far. I was able to drive myself to the appointment and even take the stairs instead of the elevator. After I was able to go and visit with my grandmother for a while. Today has been a good day. The Lord is in the details of our lives. I testify of that.
God Loves You!
Heather
