I stayed awake for hours last night worrying about the future and what it holds for my family.
I learned two lessons from my son Thor in about 10 minutes this morning.
Thor gave the prayer after scripture study. The first thing that struck me was, "We're thankful for our challenges so we can be perfect when we get to heaven." I'm sad he's learning it early, but what a wonderful testimony. It makes me feel like maybe I'm succeeding in being optimistic when I still feel like crawling back in bed.
Then he said, "We're thankful for the day and the night so that we don't have just one lo-ong day." We can always find things to be thankful for.
I'm thankful for Thor. He has been a joy from day one. Heavenly Father sent him to me when I needed him most. I've always been so grateful for the mellow, snuggly baby (so unlike my others) that nourished my soul when it so badly needed to heal almost 9 years ago.
God is good.
Thanks for sharing your insights, I will remember this when I want to crawl back into bed!!
