Miracle....Day 82

My miracle.... November 20, 2009

My miracle today is the amazing doctors and nurses that perform surgery each and every day... Finding out you have to have surgery is daunting and scary... I was not a huge fan when I found out... I know that it is necessary though, and I have confidence that everything will go smoothly... I have confidence that they will fix what they are supposed to fix and I will be back up and running like normal in no time... I am thankful that these doctors and nurses have studied so hard in school to be able to do things like this for people like me... What a miracle it is to have such a competent team of doctors on my side...

My miracle today is lunchables... How convenient are these little things?!? When I'm in a rush or don't feel like making a sandwich for the boys, I just pull one of these out of the fridge and several great things happen!! First the boys get super excited and can't wait for lunch time to come... Second I can guarantee that every bit of lunch will be eaten without one reminder of what we should be doing at the table... Third is that I have happy and healthy and full tummy boys... This is my miracle today...

My miracle today is all of the people who work so hard to keep kids safe and healthy and happy... Sometimes it is hard to see all of the hard work that goes into raising kids, but I know for a fact that it can be extremely exhausting... I don't want to see kids suffer, and I am thankful for the people who devote their careers to making sure this doesn't happen... What a miracle it is for everybody involved when somebody can step in and help to make things better...

Miracle....Day 78

My miracle is my vacuum... I love having a clean house... I hate having dirt in my house... I love that whenever I feel like my floors are dirty, I can just grab my trusty vacuum and away the dirt and yuck goes!! As gross as it is, I realize that dirt is a part of life that I can't change... I can change if it stays in my home or not... Thank heavens for the miracle machine known by most as the vacuum!!!

My miracle is my religion... Having not been able to attend church services the last couple of weeks, it was a nice change to be there today... I felt the spirit so strongly while I was there, and I was recharged to be able to handle the week ahead of me... I am thankful for the knowledge that I have of the truth on the earth today... I am thankful for the strength it gives me... I am thankful for the peace it brings... What a blessing to be able to go to church each week and renew all of these blessings for my life...

My miracle.... November 14, 2009

My miracle is IV antibiotics... I somehow have gotten a staph infection in my leg, and they can become very serious very quickly... I was instantly put on IV antibiotics to get some medicine in as fast as possible... I also had to have my leg cleaned out to try and get as much infection out as possible... Although I will be on an antibiotic for a long time, I have a strong sense of peace that everything is going to just fine...

Miracle....Day 75

My miracle.... November 13, 2009

My miracle today is the fact that it is Friday the 13th... I love how mysterious people get when they see it will be the 13th on a Friday... I love that people think it is a freaky day... I love to watch how people act so differently just because of the date... I love that I can laugh hysterically just watching people... I happen to be a fan of Friday the 13th...

Miracle....Day 74

My miracle.... November 12, 2009

My miracle today was the sight of the school bus!! After yesterday's crazy day with the boys home all day, it was time to get them back into the normal routine and off to school... They both love school... They both thrive at school... They both love riding the bus each day... I love having them home... It would be a lie to say that I don't love seeing them get on the bus and head to school each day... It is very interesting to me how much kids change over a short period of time, and just how important a routine is for them... Again, I love the boys!!! I miss them when they are off to school... I do like the quiet that is only guaranteed when they are gone...

All of the Veterans that have served our country, I have the utmost respect for... Thank you!!

My miracle.... November 10, 2009

My miracle was sitting in my mailbox this afternoon... I get tired of seeing bills all the time mixed in with junk mail... My day was made today when I opened my mailbox and sitting inside was a letter from my friend Jamie who lives in KOREA LAND... It did make me slightly sad, reminding me just how much I miss her, but most of all it made me smile... I love the postal system that is in place in our world today... I love that I can send something half way around the world and my friend will get it within the week... What a miracle it is!!

My miracle.... November 09, 2009

My miracle today is right outside my back window... When I need to be lifted up and reminded of how beautiful it is here in Washington, I take a look out the window and this is what I see... I have big huge beautiful trees that turn beautiful colors... Sometimes I just lay on the couch and watch the leaves float down through the air to the ground... Although it is somewhat messy with so many leaves all over the ground, it is beautiful! What a blessing in my life...

My miracle is that of the Savior and His pure love for me... I had a very strong feeling that I needed to get a blessing today... One quick phone call and 30 minutes later I had a couple of amazing men at my home to do that for me... I am so thankful that my Savior has blessings set aside just for me, and if I just look to Him and seek His guidance, all of the blessings are available to me in an instant... I am so thankful for my Savior and all He does for me!!
