Some thoughts from Wednesday morning...

Some thoughts from Wednesday morning...

I woke up this morning with high hopes for some change.
In dissapointment I found there would be none.
I looked out at the crashing waves, stormy winds, grey clouds and immediatly felt sad.
Worry.
Concern.
 I thought of my precious, innocent little baby soon to come and the world I am bringing her into.
I looked over at my sweet, little boy cuddled up on the couch and thought "What could I do to overcome this concern, what can I do to be strong for my children during these trying times??"
It was then I realized change could happen,
every day is a fresh start and a new opportunity to become who we want to be.
No matter what happens, we as Americans can still be strong, can still walk tall and have full,grateful hearts for this free land we so graciously get to live.
God is still our God.
Freedom and liberties still remain bounteous.
And no matter what political views we may have, we can still unite and be one in gratitude,kindness and love.

I am so incredibly grateful for this country,
for those who serve,
fight for our rights, our freedoms.
 I am humbled when I think of those less fortunate who don't have these same freedoms, who don't have the opportunity to partake in all that America has to offer.
I love America.

With going forward as a mom, there is so much I will never conquer,
be able to understand,or be capable of doing.
I will make mistakes, be indecisive and fall short.
But there is an assurance that no matter the circumstance I will always have my heart, determination, and fight within me to stand up for righteousness.

A great hope of mine is that my children will know that I
1.love my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ with all my heart.
2. love eternally their sweet father.
 3. love them unconditionally, forever, no matter what.
4. love their grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, cousins.
5. love this beautiful country which we live.
 and am incredibly grateful for all my many blessings, comforts & numerous sweet memories.

No matter what happens,
 Ben and I will strive to teach our children
kindness, charity, love, loyalty, gratitude, faith, hope, determination and honesty.
We will do our best to raise in righteousness, love and patiently teach them all that is good :)

"We may not have it all together, but together we have it all"

Life is sweet.
Life is precious.
liFe Is GoOd!
