I just finished preparing my YW's lesson for tomorrow. The YW's manual always has really good lessons. It would make for a great study companion to the scriptures.

I think about blogging much more often than I actually do. Sometimes life is moving to fast and I don't want to forget any of the great moments or small miracles we experience day to day and other days there is stuff I want to forget. One more area in my life I need to find balance in.

I feel like I'm a pretty darn patient mother...until bed time. I really need to work on that. I need to remember that I was once a kid to and didn't like when bed time came around. Maybe I should feel loved that they want to stay up to "spend just one more minute with you" as the boys say. Too often one more minute turns in to 5 or 10 or 30 more minutes. Alas, one day all to soon they won't be saying that anymore. I must cherish the moment.

I've read several blogs lately of people who have been in some major serious trials. Like this moms or this girls or his and once again I feel beyond grateful for the small trials I face. At times they might seem like mountains to steep to climb but when I count my blessings I realize they are little hills that I've been carried over by the hand of the Lord. I have my husband who loves me, I have my children, I have as much food a day that I could ask for, a roof over my head and we all have our health. We're not to shabby.

I hope my lesson goes well tomorrow. I'm also thankful I'm not a teenager these days. I'm nervous for my boys to grow up in this world. My young women really are great girls. It's a humbling experience sitting in the temple with them like we did this morning. Sometimes the calling gets a little busy and tiring but it's moment's like today that makes me grateful I'm in this position and can serve them.

I'm hoping for a Sunday nap tomorrow. I hope it's still raining too...napping while raining goes together like a bagel and cream cheese. That sounds good right about now.
