Angels


Yesterday was a really bad day. It just seemed like nothing could go right plus I was really emotional so I was pretty much just crying the whole day. My poor husband got many distressed phone calls and even a visit at work cause I needed his strength. He is so good to me and knows exactly how to cheer me up. After my last breakdown I was really discouraged so I decided that I wanted to go to the temple that evening. I knew I couldn't go being so upset so I prayed for help to brighten my day and ease my burdens so that I could think clearly and come out of my rut. Well I felt a little better and Ty was helping me a lot. As I was driving home I was stopped a light and I hear the person next to me say "excuse me" I looked over and she said "I love your shirt...It is so cute!!!" I thanked her and the light turned green and we went on. Of course I started crying because something so little could really brighten my day. It turned my day around and I felt so much better. Today during Elder Holland's talk at conference he talked about angels around us everyday. He said sometimes it's a neighbor or a spouse. I am grateful for the angels in my life and how much they are my light in the darkness. So, let's all try to be someone else's angel if you aren't already. :-)

Oh Jessica! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling good. Was that the day I saw you in the bathroom at JS? Ahhh I'm sorry I have been so wrapped up in my own familys grief I have been forgetting to look around me. I am sitting at home right now and my sister Trish is sleeping on my couch , she has had such a rough time. Tatiana is cleaning her room and playing the Gypsy Kings, it feels so peaceful compared to some of the past days. I cherish times like this when our little world doesn't feel like chaos has taken over. I wish you the best. I know you can get through it, you were always my rock! Stay strong.!
