Gifts

I read the title of my blog today and I was reminded why I started this blog - to share the gifts that I am given each day from my Heavenly Father. I have been in a bad mood most of the day. I have not felt well physically or emotionally and as I went through the day I have been feeling sorry for myself. It has been a cold rainy day. I went to my doctor tocay and he said I was getting better but was starting a cold. I am grateful that I could go to the Dr Norbaai and get medication. I am grateful I have a doctor I trust and whom I believe in. HE is a gift from my Heavenly father.

I went to mutual today. Sister Lizzie came and talked to the girls about skin care and make up. Special friends like Lizzie are gifts from my Heavenly Father.

I came home an saw Sam's lights where out and she was in bed already. I felt inspired to make sure she was okay. She was feeling miserable and I had the opportunity to talk to her, give her a hug, help her make her bed, tuck her and listen to her concerns. This was the biggest gift I received today. I wish I can spend more time with my children and have the energy to do what I need to do to be there for them. I wish I did not have to go to work each day but could spend my energy on them.

My Blog

Over the past weeks as I have posted things on My blog I have come to know more about myself and who I am. I am exploring aspects of myself that I have not for a very long time. Even if no one looks at this blog this is a good enough reason for me to do this.

It is also a little like keeping a journal, but diffent because you are just a little more careful what you record because others might see what you have written.

Most of all I have enjoyed the time spent and rediscovered things about myself I have forgoten.

This has also made me aware of things I am sensitive about and did not know i was senstive about, like my testimony, the things I believe and feelings.
