Oh, Remember

Today my friend Monica Perez surprised our family and brought over authentic Mexican chicken enchiladas that she had made!  I am so grateful for the good people that surround us that have helped our family during this pregnancy, especially here at the end where I have been pretty useless!  I know our family wouldn't have been able to survive this without them! And im so grateful! Im also grateful the children get to see these people and feel loved and taken care of by more than just us. What a big big blessing!

Today was lovely. A perfect day. Our morning was slow and quiet. The kids played so nicely together. We went to the pool and it wasn't busy.  Today was filled with peace and joy and laughter and love. Nothing spectacular happened but these moments are pure heaven to me 🤍

Today was a no good day. We had a lot of problems. A lot of poor choices were made that contributed to things not going smoothly or the way anyone really wanted.  We ended the day with a family discussion and hopefully we all learned something.  Im glad that although I felt angry and irritated, I didnt completely lose it on the kids.  Tomorrow is a new day and we will try again. The good of this day is in the last sentence. 

Ive been sick for the past week with a sinus infection/cold. Jaron caught it, and he is sick now too. He decided not to go into work because it's pretty contagious. Treva just came and picked up all the kids and took them to her house to take care of them so we can rest. (Which is extra wonderful because I am due to have this new baby any day!) All of the kids squealed in excitement when she showed up. They love her so much! She is so good to us, always showing up and saving the day. She is always choosing to serve and love us with all her heart. We are so blessed to live close to Grandma 💜

"Tonight, and tomorrow night, you might pray and ponder, asking the questions: 'Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today? Did God send a message that was just for me?  Did I see His hand in my life or the lives of my children?' I will do that.  And then I will find a way to preserve that memory for the day that I, and those that I love will need to remember how much God loves us and how much we need Him.  I testify that He loves us and blesses us, more than most of us have yet recognized."
