Showering Heather with Love

Heather is a gal I met because of Cindee.  Years ago Cindee told me of Heathers blog and told me that I would really enjoy following Heather.  She was right.  I feel in love with Heather and her honesty and talents and wonderful testimony.  We decided to meet for lunch one day and after a four hour lunch we were great friends.  I served on Heathers Festival of Trees committee for about 4 years.  I always smile when I get an invite  or a Christmas Card from this cute friend.  I'm so glad that Cindee shared her find with me.  Heather is having a baby soon and I was invited to share this excitement with her.  I invited Cindee to come with me and meet this friend of hers face to face.  Heather was thrilled to finally meet Cindee.  It was so fun being a part of this celebration.  It was also very nice being able to spend some time with my sweet friend Cindee.  I admire the dickens out of Cindee....she's so close to perfect!

Count Your Blessings

There is so much in our life to be thankful for~yet, so often our focus is on our hardship and trials.  By taking time each week to focus on our blessings I know we will notice a positive change in our lives.  Even in our trials there are blessing....we need to look for them.

 One blessing I am grateful for today. Slow times....every now and then I like when my calendar isn't full and I'm not running all over the place.
An experience I have had that was a blessing to me. Since Mother's day was this week I'm going to share an experience that happened when Kevin and Braxton were both going to preschool.  Their teacher, Bev told me that one of the ladies helping her said that she just knew that Kevin and Braxton's mom must be a sweetheart because my boys were so kind and well behaved.  Such a blessing being told I was doing something right.

One Gospel Principle that is a blessing to me.  The Sacrament is such a blessing to me.  I'm so thankful that each week I have the opportunity to renew my covenants with my Savior and know that I am whole again.  Partaking of the sacrament is getting more and more personal to me and I imagine the priesthood holders performing this sacrament ordinance to be Jesus.  When I take the time is really ponder and think about this blessing it means so much to me. 
Something I have done to bless another.  Sister Frazier gave me a note for Mother's Day that expressed her love for me.  The note also said that I will never know all that I have done for her.  So just paying attention and acknowledging her must have meant a lot to her and blessed her life.
Who was a blessing to me this week? My family!  I have thought a lot about each of them this week and I'm so grateful to have them all as my family.  They truly are my biggest blessings!
