Count your Many Blessings....

I know... I know... it's been forever since I have posted. I have such good intentions and then it seems like I never take the time to update everything. I have a bunch of good pictures from Glen's birthday party, Easter, etc., and maybe eventually I will update them. For now, instead of seeing the cute pictures of my boys... it's reflection time. This last 2 months have been some of the most trying times in my life and I can't express how grateful I am for the gospel. I literally would be emotionally lost without it. It's amazing how Heavenly Father tries us and gives us challenges we never thought we would be able to handle but at the same time gives us His constant love and support to help us through them. He does this all while providing tender mercies to allow us to understand the lessons that He would have us learn in the process. I am also grateful for family and friends who are close enough to the Spirit to recognize when those they love and care about are in need... and who offer their unconditional love and support no matter what. I am grateful for the blessings I have in my life and for the gospel I have to get through it. It is amazing the blessings you have that you don't even think about until you are faced with difficult times in your life. Be grateful for what you have and never underestimate the power of the gospel... without it, life would be unbearable!
