Tragedies

Im just sitting here at working thinking about some people, some families, some friends.. and I cannot believe all the horrible things that are happening to so many people. I catch myself complaining about being pregnant, having migraines, having things break down at my house, medical bills, surgeries, car repairs, etc.. and yet I hear of so many bad things happening to other people! WHAT am I thinking? I am so grateful to be pregnant, to have a little girl on the way to me, to have a husband and son who are also healthy and happy, and love me! I am SO SO grateful to have a husband who LOVES me, for ME. Who does not judge me, who lifts my spirits, honors his priesthood, is faithful, who is a GREAT DAD, and maybe a better "mom" than me! Ha ha. It really puts things into perspective when you hear other people's stories, and it makes me really count my blessings. Is my life perfect? Am I stressed? Am I getting fat, and uncomfortable.. heck yes! But, I cannot thank my Heavenly Father enough for all that I do have, and for loving me unconditionally. I know he is mindful of me, and is looking out for me. Im grateful to have that knowledge. I feel bad for people that don't know that. I was able to attend my cousins sealing at the Salt Lake Temple yesterday, and the sealer was a member of the first quorom of the 70. It was so good! I was sitting there, in the exact same room that I got sealed in, next to my husband, parents, sister, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents! It was such an amazing feeling, to know that we will be together forever! The sealer made me realize that! That no matter what we all go through, any health trials, or financial problems, work problems, that as long as we do what we are supposed to do, stay close as a couple, stay close to God, that we will be a forever family and be eternally happy! It was awesome. I pray for all the people I know that are having so many hard trials, that they will make it through, and know that I am praying for you, and love you, and know that God loves you :)
