In every trial there is a blessing. I've seen it many times throughout my life and the trial of this surgery has been no different. This has been a difficult time--the health challenges I was facing that led to the surgery as well as this recovery time have been hard and frustrating. I've experience a lot of pain, both physical and emotional. But I've also seen my Heavenly Father's love for me in the many, many family and friends He's blessed me with.
I've once again been reminded of the blessing of my wonderful family, both immediate and extended. I've received the help of a loving family and parents to help keep up on family duties. I can't imagine facing life's challenges without a loving family and wonderful parents. I've been humbled by the phone calls from sisters, brothers, sister-in-laws and parents-in-law.
I've been amazed at the wonderful friends here--those I work with in Young Womens, my visiting teachers, present and past, and other wonderful people who have pitched in and helped me and my family. I've been amazed! I've missed my young women and appreciate the cards and flowers and visits.
I am constantly reminded that my Heavenly Father loves me. What a blessing it is to know that. Thank you to everyone who has helped lighten my load and row my boat. I look forward to taking my turn at the oar.
I love you all!
