Yesterday I took Michael to the doctor for his hurt leg. The hope was that he would be better and we would go home splint and cast free. Instead we were directed to the Children's ER at Wake Med. How grateful I was that my mother in law stepped in and picked up kids from school, fed everyone pizza, and took care of them while I went to the ER. What a blessing to have such wonderful in-laws. The ER is very nice. I felt very well taken care of it is just a long wait. Michael loved pushing the big red button on the remote. This would call the nurse and I would appoligize. I have a feeling this happens a lot.
Michael was exhausted and I was blessed with ideas like, turn of the lights, lay him on the bed and rub his back, turn on the white noise app, sing him a song, and before long he fell asleep in my arms. Twice in one week I feel so blessed.
I also felt blessed that my child was not in pain. I could hear babies and children crying and I kept praying for them and their parents. Finally the doctor we were waiting to see an Orthopedic Surgeon game in and gave us the okay. All the x-rays are perfect he probably just strained a muscle. If he is not better by the beginning of next week we will go in for an MRI but it all looks good. Michael was delighted to no longer have a splint and to be able to move around and not be strapped into a stroller.
I feel blessed to have peace from my Father in Heaven. I know that He loves me and I had sure faith that things would all work out. Peace is one of the biggest reasons I love what I believe. Peace of a forever family, peace that the Lord's will will be done, peace that I and my children are loved.

We Believe in Being Chaste
"Every appetite, desire, propensity, and impulse of the natural man may be overcome by and through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We are here on the earth to develop godlike qualities and to bridle all of the passions of the flesh."
My
weakness for food can be overcome by the Atonement. My weakness as a
mother can be overcome by the Atonement. I am so grateful to my Savior
who gave me this gift that I may one day be worthy to enter the arms of
my Heavenly Father.
"Alma counseled his son Shiblon to “bridle all [of his] passions, that [he] may be filled with love” ( Alma 38:12 ). Significantly, disciplining the natural man in each of us makes possible a richer, a deeper, and a more enduring love of God and of His children. Love increases through righteous restraint and decreases through impulsive indulgence."
As
I righteously restrain my anger and frustration with my children love
will increase in my family. As I indulge my desire to yell, get even,
get my point across, the love in my home with decrease.
