Most of the times now are not so hard, but sometimes......the sadness gets to me. These are the times I make my "lists", things I am grateful for, things I love, ways God loves me, how I am blessed. The lists help me focus on the goodness of what I have instead of what I do not have. It is a battle....a battle we will win.Beckypdjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266740083686605381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-10490280649405228962009-02-19T13:09:00.000-05:002009-02-19T13:09:00.000-05:00Jody, I am right there with you!!

You're right to try to savor the moments, and you are very normal for not feeling "up" every day (especially after having a house full of sick kids). I admire you greatly, and think your testimony is one of courage, strength and hope... and I love that you give the credit for all those things to our Heavenly Father. I hope today is a good day. <BR/><BR/>A ten year-old and a five month-old and girls in between. Whew!

I so appreciate your honesty and sharing your feelings, I think as a woman sometimes you feel like you are the only one who feels these things. Regardless of your bad days or moments I am sure your kids and husband think you are such a blessing to them everyday!! I hope you have a great day and again thanks for always being so real with your thoughts and feelings and by the way, I love that 2 page layout of crew!! Hugs -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
