Ok friends and family, I am trying to get into the Christmas spirit on my blog but I do not know how to move and navigate items on my page the way I would like so please just bear with me, I am trying my best and learning by trial and error.
Today was a very great day at church, my heart was touched by so many testamonies. I feel so lucky to be a part of such an amazing ward amongst so many strong people. Today a little girl maybe three years old got up and said with such confidence,"I know the Savior died for me" she melted my heart and I was so greatful for her little spirit. I was also touched by this teenage boy who made a goal last January to share his testamony every month at testamony meeting and looking back at the past year and realizing how his example has affected many people in our ward. Through him he has influenced his leaders and his peers to share their testamonies and also as the year progressed his two little sisters have followed in his footsteps in sharing their testamonies. I am so greatful for strong youth like him who are such an example to me in my life, what a great missionary he will be! Another man in our ward got up and shared his testamony today and it was such a tender moement because when he and his family first moved in our ward he never even came to church and now he is a primary teacher and he shared his testamony for the first time ever today, it was so cool to see how he and his family has grown over time. I am so greatful for the gospel in my life and the strenghth I feel from it everyday, I just cant imagine my life without it and I am so glad I dont need to.
Today was another milestone in my life because it was the first time my son passed the sacrament in church and it I felt like I was floating on air I was so proud of him! It is so cool to have another priesthood holder in our home and I hope Jordan will always treasure that blessing and honor that privilege in his life.
Yesterday I took my two daughters shopping for Chrismas because it is hard to surprise them now that they are teenagers or to get things that fit properly, any how they were such troopers to try on anything I gave them and after 3 hours when we went to make some purchases and check out my debit card for some reason was declined. I was so stressed out and disapointed that this was happening to me but my girls were so positive and didnt even get mad or upset. I really felt bad but I was so greatful for my girls who were understanding and helped me to lighten up, thankyou Taesha and Lindsey you are such good examples to me. I love you!
I am so thankful for all my kids and I love them all so much, I love it when they teach me so much. Megan that means you too, you are missed and you are a great example to me too.
Well I geuss this has turned into such a long blog post but its been a while so I hope I didnt bore you all. My heart is filled with so much gratitude and I just needed to express it! Merry Christmas to all and enjoy the season!
