Just Thinking.....

I was just sitting here thinking....how blessed I am that my husband has a decent job. That I have a home, and food on the table to feed my family. How blessed am I that I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. How blessed am I that I can pay my bills each month. So many people are struggling in this day and time. Why am I blessed more than another? I hope that I can serve others. I hope that I can make a difference in someones life each day. I hope that I can raise good, respectful kids. I pray for help and guidance. I pray for health and strength. I pray for all those who need praying for. I pray that I can see opportunity when it knocks at my door. I pray that I can learn from my mistakes. I pray that I can be a better person, mom, sister, daughter, wife, neighbor and friend.
The days, weeks and years even go by so quickly! Easton will be one this Saturday. Has it really been a year? Have I made the most of that time? Have I taught myself and my kids something new each day of that year? Have I spent that time on important things in life like family, teaching, serving--or have I spent it on worrying about mundane things that don't actually matter in the end? I hope I can do better.
