It has occurred to me that some of these topics might end up being similar as we go along, but I mean them with a little bit of a new light I guess you would say.
I was thinking about this the other day. We have been moving around a lot lately, specifically since last August we've gone from Connecticut to Utah to Oregon. All of the moving around is hard enough for an adult, but has really been hard on poor little Eli. But, recently we just had a really good day. Not that anything really spectacular happened, but we were out at the coast and we went to garage sales, and as I was putting Elijah down for his nap, I just could tell how happy he was. And, nothing could have made me happier at that moment than just seeing Eli happy. I can't really tell you the joy and peace of knowing that Eli was just as happy as could be.
I know Heavenly Father is happy too when we stop and feel grateful for what we have and are content even if nothing huge is going on. We don't need a trip to Disneyland to be happy. Heavenly Father has given us this Earth and so much, the sun, the smell of cut grass (for those of us who aren't allergic to it :-)). And it really goes a long way if we take time, even in trials to stop and just be happy about the good things that are in this world.
