Gratitude Journal-June

27th

• Today as I drove through the canyon I felt the warmth of the sun on my arm. I reflected on how it must feel to be held in the arms of the Savior. At that moment I imagined myself in His grasp and felt the warmth spread into my heart and through out my entire body. I felt the love of God today and I knew everything would be okay.


• I am grateful for quiet moments spent holding my children. Maya was having a hard time this afternoon. I had to bite my tongue and suppress my non-motherly instinct to yell and send her away. Instead I scooped her up into my arms and held her. She sweetly snuggled into my chest. I couldn't help be grateful for how that felt and how she looked, so small and so needy. She just wanted to know she was loved. I am grateful for the few award winning mother moments I have. I hope that Maya felt the love of God today wrapped so gently and securely in my arms and my heart.

• I am grateful for a husband that is so helpful with the kids. He wants me to do things that make me happy and encourages me to do so even when it means that I am working on the blog until 3 AM.


• I have felt the love of the Lord today all day long. Not in something particular but just in my heart. The peace and happiness I feel tell me that He cares and answers my prayers.

• Today I felt the love of the Lord from three little girls and their sweet hugs. I was in the nursery and at three different times I was hugged by three different girls, one even played with my hair. I had no idea how badly I waa craving a hug until these three little angels wrapped their tiny, warm arms around me one by one, my heart felt peace.
• I am grateful for comments on my blogs. They make my day. So thank you everyone who has commented.

• I am grateful for my kids. They helped clean the house today and did such a good job. At times they were even heard asking, "What can I do to help now?".
• I felt the love of the Lord today when my prayers were answered. I was given strength, kindess and patience to deal with the kids. Because I felt loved I was able to love more.
