Today I woke up feeling very grateful and blessed. I have struggled with gratitude lately and after a wonderful Young Women's lesson that I gave yesterday on overcoming obstacles I can see just how much my family has been given. Today marks the 2 year anniversary that Marcus and I were able to be sealed for time and all eternity! I don't have the words to describe the feelings I have for this wonderful blessing in our lives. Our Heavenly Father has given us the wonderful gift of forgiveness through the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ. Not only do we have this but it is continuous! It does not matter how many times we mess things up, we can always be forgiven and overcome obstacles and challenges. We get lots of chances to start over, as long as we are willing to do so and turn to him. I sit here and look at my beautiful picture of the Bountiful Temple and look back 2 years ago at the best decision I made for myself and my family. This time on earth is not easy and it definitly requires us to work daily on bettering ourselves so that we can help lift others up. "Christ doesn't just make up the difference. He makes all the difference." -Brad Wilcox I can't wait to spend forever with my family but for now I am going to enjoy every minute I get with them in this life.
This post explains what a sweet family they really are, and what a wonderful gal my Melanie is Thank you Mel for being such a special granddaughter we love you and your family so much, I am grateful to Father in Heaven everyday for allowing us to be grandparents to Mel and Marcus and great grandparents to our little Angel Brytenne,watching Mel grow from a tiny baby to a wonderful mom has been a great joy.
