You know those times in your life when everything seems to fall magically into place? Well, this is one of those times for me. Heavenly Father has seen fit to bless me over and over again, and although at times I feel undeserving, I am always extremely grateful. Ever since I decided to move back home (which I felt prompted by the Spirit to do), I have continually seen the Lord's hand in my life. He loves me so much more than I can comprehend.
Living with my family has been a blessing. I know that the time will come that I will be out on my own for good, so I'm grateful for this chance to live with them one last time. They are more than my family. They are my friends.
Many of my siblings and their families live within a couple hours of my house. How grateful I am to build those relationship and to spend time with my nieces and nephews, whom I adore.
As of right now I am blessed to be working not one, but three different jobs. I work at Jamba Juice in the mornings, Learning Rx (a brain training center) in the afternoons, and my family's Little Caesar's store whenever I can. I know the frustration and hopelessness that can accompany unemployment, and I have not taken for granted that my income is currently coming from three different sources.
The greatest thing about moving to Fresno has been meeting and falling in love with my best friend. I have never known such happiness in all my life. Isn’t he a stud muffin?
So, you see, I have much to be grateful for at this time. Life is pretty darn sweet right now. But it wouldn't be so sweet for me if I’d never gone through the trials that I’ve experienced, and because of that I am grateful for those hardships.
Doctrine and Covenants 58:4 – "For after much tribulation come the blessings..."
Those are wonderful blessings!
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your "stud muffin". :) That's a beautiful thing!
I agree with Ashley! Congratulations on your stud muffin ;)
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, even the the most difficult things like working three jobs are something to be grateful for. Pretty amazing.
