Ungrateful

Today this story was sent to me in an email: mysuperspence.blogspot.com

I started to read about this courageous little boy and the struggles he was facing and realized how truly ungrateful I am for all that I have. What if one of my boys was seriously ill? What if I had to stay in the hospital days or weeks on end, getting no sleep because I was so worried and sad for him, wondering why he was crying in his sleep, wondering what he was dreaming about and wondering why this had to happen?

I have four happy, healthy little boys, each with their own personalities. One with a challenge learning to speak (and yes sometimes I wish I could take his place because people say stupid things). BUT they are happy, they are healthy.

I am going to enjoy them.

I am going to play with them.

I am going to make memories with them and hope that they will remember those happy times.

I am going to comfort them and be there for them always.

I will remember they are just little boys.

I will let them be adventurous and try new things.

I will be there to help them back up when things get hard.

I will teach them the gospel so we can be together forever.

I will trust them.

I will love them.....always.

As my mom always said "Each day is a gift of God." I won'tl let one go by without being thankful for what I do have and being aware of those that are in need. I am grateful for my health and that Heavenly Father has entrusted me with these 4 sweet little boys. I will live each day to the fullest so that if I were called to go through the same trial as my mom, they will have good memories of their mom.
