Gratitude~

These past couple of days I think that I have been so blessed. I have had several prayers answered quickly. As many of you know that doesn't happen too often. For this I am grateful. I have been worried about ALL of the kids coming back and finding my busy routine again. Kids to school, kids to preschool, two newborns, kids from school, kids from preschool and so on...Summer has been so fun and really quite relaxing. I have been so blessed with wonderful families that have really blessed our lives. I am so grateful for their loyalty. I have been praying for guidance on a couple of things and within days my prayers have been answered and answered completely. I have been overwhelmed with the feelings of gratitude for my Heavenly Father and the trust and love that he has for me. These lumps in my gut feelings make me cry so needless to say I have been doing that a lot too. Not to mention that my baby boy started 1st grade today. :( I missed him so much.....To often I think that I forget when prayers are not answered in the timely fashion that I would like, I forget that they can be answered quickly and then it reminds me that he does hear my prayers and that he loves me. For this I am truly grateful.....

Shaylei has a cool saying written on her mirror. It says 3 answers to prayer:
1. Yes
2. Not yet
3. I have something else better planned.
I love how it's not No, but that I have something else better for you.
I will have to make a little sign to put in our house to remind us :)
