Miracle....Day 31

My miracle.... September 30, 2009

My miracle today was flying home from SLC to Seattle and having a smooth flight without any problems... I had a very uneasy feeling about flying tonight, and that has never happened before... I just said a quick prayer that everything would go smoothly and that I would be safe... I felt no fear in the air, and I did in face arrive safely... I am thankful for the miracle my Heavenly Father gave to me today...

Miracle....Day 30

My miracle.... September 29, 2009

My miracle is the ability to get from point A to point B quickly because of the use of cars... I was able to quickly drive down to Provo to see my Grandma that I don't get to see often... Knowing that today was a very full and busy day, I was worried I wouldn't be able to fit it all in... Thank heavens for a fully functioning car that allowed me to get to see my Grandma and get back home to fulfill my other obligations...

Miracle....Day 29

My miracle.... September 28, 2009

Today my miracle is knowing that my puppy Molly is being well taken care of while I am out of town... It is extremely hard for me to leave her when I go out of state, and even harder since the last time I left her she nearly died... What a miracle it is that she is so loved by Alexis and so well taken care of... I have complete peace knowing that she is in good hands... I am thankful for that!!

My miracle today was not throwing up in the car on the long drive home from Rexburg... No need to really elaborate on this one... It speaks for itself... You have NO IDEA how close I came to needing a serious bag... I am thankful I did not...

(Gage is the cute #66 with the contagious smile!)

Today my miracle is my little brothers football coach... My little brother has special needs and most people who don't know him, don't realize that at first glance... I never thought I would see him play an organized team sport... Let alone football!! He loves it! He is great at it! His coaches are so good with him and I could tell her really felt a part of the team... I am so thankful for the miracle of acceptance!!

Miracle....Day 25

My miracle.... September 24, 2009

It really hit home the miracle of the love of sisters... Looking at my two beautiful nieces and seeing the love of Reagan for her new sister is priceless... I know I look at both of my sisters that way, as well as Savannah and Samantha as my sisters through marriage... How lucky we are to have such inspiring people in our lives who love us for who we really are... How lucky we are to have sisters who believe in us and encourage... What a miracle it really is; the love between sisters!

Miracle....Day 24

My miracle.... September 23, 2009

Today my miracle was brought about in the form of a reminder... I was at work and had a LOT to get done... Connor asked me if we could go to the train park and although I wanted to say no because I didn't have time, we headed down anyway, and it was neat to see him just play... I saw his imagination soar, and he just had a lot of fun... When we got home, he asked for a superman cape, so we made one out of a blanket... He ran around the sidewalk proclaiming he was "superman-connor-brooks!! here to save the trees!!" The innocence of a child is something that is very special...

I am thankful for the miracle that happened to me today... I was having a hard time thinking good things were going to happen today, and feared for the worst...

I am thankful for the power of positive thinking in my life...

Miracle....Day 21

My miracle.... September 20, 2009

Today my miracle was seeing the smile of so many people around me... I headed off to church feeling just a little bit down... No reason in particular... Just not super happy... I got to church early to "people watch" as families came in and I couldn't help but just smile... I loved seeing the older people in the ward speak... They looked like they were just radiating because they were being noticed... I loved seeing the kids come in at 9am with so much spark and excitement... I loved seeing the babies smiling and cooing as people walked by... I loved seeing friends... I am thankful that Heavenly Father helped me to see this miracle in my life today...

My miracle.... September 19, 2009

Today is my baby sister's birthday... She is 10 years old... I had this miracle shown to me almost 9 years ago, but I am reminded of it every year... Kali was adopted into our family and she was sealed to my parents forever in the SLC temple... What an amazing experience that was for me... I saw a miracle happen that day in my family and she was sealed, and I saw many great things happen... I see miracles daily when I look around... I am so glad that I have the miracle of remembrance today as I think back to what a special day that was, and what it really meant...

Miracle....Day 18

My miracle.... September 17, 2009

I had a pretty crazy and hectic day that started at 5:30am and went non-stop... I was starting to just get irritated because somebody was going too slow... the cashier was rude... speech class got out late... bus arrived early... wet beds from little boys... I think that helps to paint the picture... I came home from work and started in on MORE work around my house... I ended up breaking my little toe on my right foot and that is my miracle today... Although I am not thrilled about a broken toe, I am so glad that it happened when it did... I just burst into tears thinking WHY ME?!? Then I felt a sense of peace and the thought came to me to just slow down and enjoy life... After all, it is the only one we have... I love my Heavenly Father and I know that He is blessing me every day and helping me to find the good... I am so glad we have miracles in our lives every single day!

Miracle....Day 17

My miracle.... September 16, 2009

Tonight I was able to go to see Miley Cyrus in concert and it made me really thankful that I have my eyes that see well... We were pretty close to the stage, and I started thinking about how I don't hear well at all... I thought about how even though I don't hear well, I am so blessed to have full eyesight... I am thankful for this miracle that I was reminded of tonight... How lucky I am to have my sight...

Miracle....Day 16

My miracle.... September 15, 2009

I am so thankful that I have the ability to think and say how and what I feel... I know a lot of countries don't allow that freedom, and I think that is sad... I am thankful today that I knew just when to say the right things to help others... I am thankful that I was taught from a very young age to say what I mean, but always mean what I say... I am thankful that I know that people who have problems with the things we say, really in the grand scheme of things don't matter... All that matters is what our Heavenly Father thinks... I am so thankful that I was able to pull this out of my memory and use it today... Heavenly Father really is making miracles available for me to be seen... If I just remember to look...

Miracle....Day 15

My miracle.... September 14, 2009

I have had this horrible rattling sound in my car the past week or so and I have been putting it off because of the fear of the cost to repair it... I finally took it in to Les Schwab today and that is where my miracle happened... It was a simple thing to fix--just a loose bolt--and it didn't cost me a penny... The man who helped me was really nice and checked everything out just to make sure it was all in running order... I am so thankful that there are honest people who choose to do right by others because they know it's the right thing to do... I am so thankful that my Heavenly Father watches over me with his constant care... I am truly blessed!!

My miracle.... September 13, 2009

I am so thankful that I have a comfy bed that is all mine!! I was able to sleep in today and catch up on lost sleep and when I woke up, I started thinking just how blessed I am to have the things that I do... I know there are people in the world without a bed, or who have to share a bed with others because there is not enough for the family... I am so thankful that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with the things I have and the circumstances that I live in... I am truly blessed!!

Today was kind of a rough day for me emotionally... Not sure why... I struggled to find good today...not good things per say...just something that really stood out to me as a miracle or extra blessing in my life... Then things changed...

Somebody came into my home and proclaimed that he knows that God does not exist... It was then I really came to realize how thankful I am that I do know that Christ is my Savior and that H does in fact exist...
