In the spirit of thanksgiving I'm here posting about things I'm grateful for.
This semester for Garrett has been a tough one. As many of you know, Garrett has a full time job and attends his classes at nights. Most nights he isn't home until late, and when he does get home he has homework, and has even been pulling overtime at work since it is their busy season. He always holds it together so well. Sometimes i ask myself, "why am I not working? I feel lazy. I feel like I'm not helping when I'm fully capable." But other times I think, "wow, I really wish I could just talk to another adult and not do baby talk all day" or "somebody please take my baby so that I can just go pee in peace." I guess what I'm saying is, if you are a working mom or a stay at home mom, either way you are doing good. They each have their downfalls and they each have their bonuses, but all we can do is be grateful for our situation, whatever it may be. So today I am choosing to be grateful for my hard working husband who gives his all, and the opportunity I have to spend my days with my sweet boy.
Another thing I am grateful for is my trials. I heard a talk once that related our trials to a card game, we never know what card we are going to be dealt. What we do know is .. "God did not remove the Red Sea, he opened it: He will help us find a way through our problems as well." We can't ask the dealer to give us a new card. We are stuck with what we get. But no matter what, just hold on! Keep holding on. Our loving Heavenly Father will never leave us. We will grow from our trials.
Lastly, I am grateful for my eternal family. I am incomplete without them. If I had to list everything I am grateful for I would be here for days... I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving and enjoy your families!! Love you all!!
