Count your blessings

The last couple of month s I have been feeling alone, betrayed and abandoned, but after spending a week away and with family I have seen how many people are there to support and love me during this time.  What a blessing it was to receive guidance and inspiration through my father as he laid his hands on my head and gave me a blessing that has re-inspired me in my choices and a new found need to renew things with my husband, which in part means I really need to get over this pride that is holding onto the hurt I have felt I unjustly deserved.  Instead of focusing on that I instead need to focus on how to bind with my husband so we are once again on the same page.  What a promise and a blessing to be reminded that no matter my husband’s choices, I will be blessed according to how I live my life, so let’s take the focus off of him and put it back on me because I have found several flaws and weaknesses that could use some work and strengthening.  So for any who care to read this very self- reflective post, here are my goals to try and work toward both short term and long term.

·       Keep prayer and scripture reading ever present in my home

·       Keep peace and love in my home because that is the only thing the advisory cannot replicate

·       Be an influence through personal example rather than through words.

·       Teach my children knowledge, scripture and love so that they have the foundation they need to make their own choices.

·       Fill my own cup so that I can fulfill me needs, in order to continue serving those around me.

I have been blessed with so much and I know that like the car accident, the fire and the miscarriage, I will be a better, a stronger and a more compassionate person for having gone through these times I feel I am at my weakest.  This week was just what I needed and I hope I can maintain this focus and I continue on.  So if you feel I get too negative or lose track of these goals, just remind me of my blessings, for I have nothing to feel sorry about.
