Wow, what a day yesterday was and what blessings I felt from my Heavenly Father. He gave me so much patience yesterday. There is no way I would have gotten through without His help.
I was blessed with patience as one of my children tried to tear me down with words and try to convince me why we didn't need to go to church. But we went.
I was blessed when I went to give my lesson in Relief Society (the meeting we have with just women) and realized I had left all my notes at home. I had felt prompted to have my children get up and sing the song Gethsemane. Elizabeth, Samantha, John Derek, and Maddie all went up and sang infront of the women. They did a really good job and really brought the Spirit into the meeting. Derek was able to be there (benefits of being the Bishop he can go to Relief Society) he said that he wishes he could take a video of their performance and just keep it in his brain forever. It was really sweet of them and they really did a great job. The lesson went just as the Lord wanted it to. The Spirit was in the room and I think everyone felt that. It is humbling to be a teacher and to see the Spirit working in the hearts of those you teach.
I was blessed with patience with all of my children as I asked for help cleaning up, playing games, and going to bed. Derek did not get home from meetings until I was putting John Derek and Maddie down. But I never felt out of control or overwhelmed. What a blessing.
I was blessed with patience and love and support when I had to talk to someone and explain my actions. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and His love. What a blessing to have Him in my life and to be so connected to Him. I think of those out there in the world struggling and wish I could help them feel God's Spirit so that they could feel His love for them. I am truly blessed.

2 Nephi 8:11
"11 Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy and holiness shall be upon their heads; and they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and mourning shall flee away."
This will be a good day. The righteous shall be rewarded and have joy. I look forward to "sorrow and mourning shall flee away."
Yesterday I heard lots of hard news from different people. I was so grateful at how the Lord held me up. He gave me strength that I know I did not have. He spoke peace to my heart and comforted it. I realized that all my stresses of last week were nothing compared to trials that others have to face. How grateful I am for a kind and loving Father in Heaven. I know that as I put my faith and trust in Him everything will work out for the best.
