Grateful Sundays

I need to be more thankful for things in my life. I tend to lean towards the selfish, "its all about me" side of life. My favorite subject to talk about it me...lol...but seriously its so easy to focus on the bad in life. I want to regain my positive outlook and to become more selfless and to see the Lord's hand more readily in my life. So, lucky for you, I will try to post each sunday things that I am grateful for!

MISSIONARIES

We had two elders over the other night. It was awesome! No, not because they just happen to be fun and good looking but because they brought a special spirit into our home, one that was needed. To just have them present was enough but they shared a few scriptures that really touched me, and reminded me of feeling the Spirit. I have not been as active in the gospel as I should be, and this was a great reminder of what I am missing when I decide not to attend all my meetings or to make the gospel a priority. It was a great reminder to me, to know that the church is true and that the Lord does love me.

DR. PEPPER

Seriously. This stuff, and Coca-Cola, is my saving grace when working. Withstanding 8+hours of little children under the age of 3 who happen to be extremely loud, anyone would need a pick me up. Since my health has been bad, this stuff helps me stay alert enough to take care of the little ones with a smile on my face and allows all of us to have a good time!! Plus, it just tastes so darn good!!

WORK





To finally have a job and to be making my own money is a great relief to me. I hate having to ask for money and depend on others. Its a sense of comfort knowing that pretty soon I can depend on myself! I can already feel a change in me and some of the sadness and depression that I've been carrying for awhile is disappearing!! It makes me happy to be at work and to be surrounded by these little ones who are so full of love, happiness, and bring out the teacher in me! I love teaching and working with them, its seriously a blast even when they break the fishtank and waterlog the classroom!
