I thank Thee

 
I thank Thee for:
my family
that I have so many people in my life that love and support me 
teaching me
answers that come when I need them too
a home
nephews that I love so dearly
Thy gospel
the peace that comes when I do what Thou requires
the temple
letting me know that Thou are there when I feel alone
Thy love

This might seem a little late for Thanksgiving, but my heart is full today with love for the Lord and knowing He is there.  Just when I am about to say "Lord, why me? Why do I have to struggle?" He sends so many answers telling me that I don't have to do it on my own.  A line from a hymn I've always loved says "I loved to choose and see my path; but now, Lead thou me on!"  Almost everytime I sing that I tear up a bit (I know that is really hard to imagine) and I know the only way I am going to get through something is if I humble myself and depend on Him.  This week started off awful, but now all the pieces have fallen into place and everything is working out great.  I didn't think it could have happened this way and I am so grateful it did.
...and c'mon what is a shelby blog post without the obligatory pictures of my handsome nephews.
