Eternally Grateful

I know I can never fully express how eternally grateful I am for the family I've been blessed with. I have five BEAUTIFUL children that I get to raise here on earth. I will never take that for granted again. This week I've hugged each of them a little tighter, really looked at them and realized what a miracle each of them are.

I have a husband who is my best friend and my rock. He is my eternal companion, and I am so grateful to know that. I know that he loves me with all his heart, and I love him just as much (maybe even a little more . hehe--that is an ongoing joke).  But seriously, I know that I will have him forever and that means everything to me.

I've been blessed with wonderful parents who I know love me and pray for me---and their prayers have helped me through many trials in my life.

I'm so grateful for the power of prayer. This week, prayer has literally been tangible. I've felt every prayer that has been offered for our family and I'm so grateful for that remarkable power.
I'm grateful to know that this life is not the end. I know that our Father in Heaven has an eternal plan for us. I am grateful that I have the faith I need, to put my trust in Him.
