When I walk imperfectly?
In the quiet heart is hidden
Sorrow that the eye can't see.
Who am I to judge another?
Lord- I would follow thee.
Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
This week has been very blessed, as my brother says when he's having "growing experiences". He wrote to me this week and told me to look for the ways I see God's love in my life. After reading his email, my eyes were opened. I have had many shoulders to lean on. I have been finding many opportunities to work and earn money temporarily, while still being a stay-at-home mom. The separation from my husband has been very civil, and even friendly. In fact, it's the best that we've gotten along in about a year.
A neighbor of mine invited me to lunch with her friend and their children. The chance to socialize was rejuvenating! I'm so glad that she thought to invite me. Charlie doesn't get to be with other children his age very often, so it was adorable to see him toddling around with all the little girls. They all got along great! I'm feeling a serious need for a regular playgroup.
My thoughts are scattered today, but I'll leave you a picture of why I do what I do. Why I hang on through all the crap life throws at me. It's for my children. I live for their smiles, seeing their growth, watching them play, and checking in on them when they sleep.
Final Thought
"God loves you- each of you. That love never changes... It is simply always there."
Thomas S. Monson
