Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

A Change of Attitude

I went to the Temple yesterday.  There were 25 or so of us on the Session.  ONE Male. It was a much more intimate and interactive than any session I have ever experienced.  The Women with me all seemed to be like minded.... and like hearted.  We helped eachother with clothing malfunctions, and little encouragements.  As I sat in the Celestial room, very emotional, one of them quietly touched my leg in encouragement and love.

I then was fortunate enough to have Hirum Sanders give me a blessing.  Where I was told that I have an important mission here on earth, and part of it is raising a wonderful family.  That I will have what I need.... not always what I want, but what I need. I was advised to keep The Lord close. (BELIEVE ME, I plan too.) ♥

Then, to top of the Trifecta ;-) David took a moment and filled my emotional and spiritual cup to the brim with an understanding and comment that was EXACTLY what I needed, and showed more love than anything else he could have said.  I will recreate it to the best of my ability: (background, I am worried about our ability to officially move into this house) He said, "You are overthinking this. This house is where we have decided to move Our Family to.  This house is where we have put money into moving. We plan and work towards moving into it."  When I asked if my spending choices have hurt our ability, and said "I could have done better." He said, "We can always  do better.  We can't do anything about yesterday."

Bless My Soul Mate for truly loving me.... and taking the time to love me the way I needed him to.

To finish the evening off, the police showed up at my door.  And I knew I was being watched out for when they left in obvious annoyance at whomever called them to report we were being too loud.  One of them said "As long as you are doing your best... it's an apartment for heaven's sake." With an eye roll. (not directed toward me... but at being called over something so stupid.) This scenario cemented my conviction that we need to get out of here ASAP!!!!
