What a Wonderful Weekend

     Cole has been doing really well with eating. He ate full feedings for the last 2 days. Everything else is looking good.  Moving his legs, sleeping, eating and pooping. He is weighing in at 6lbs 8oz. Hoping that he starts waking up for his other feedings.

  Conference weekend has been nice to help the time go by. I really enjoyed Pres. Uchtdorf's talk. He talked about counting your blessing. I thought it would be a good time for us to count the many blessing we have been blessed with. It is a great reminder that the Lord is always near.

This part of the talk stood out to me-

"Being grateful in our circumstances is an act of faith in God. It requires that we trust God and hope for things we may not see but which are true. By being grateful, we follow the example of our beloved Savior, who said, “Not my will, but thine, be done.”

True gratitude is an expression of hope and testimony. It comes from acknowledging that we do not always understand the trials of life but trusting that one day we will.

In any circumstance, our sense of gratitude is nourished by the many and sacred truths we do know: that our Father has given His children the great plan of happiness; that through the Atonement of His Son, Jesus Christ, we can live forever with our loved ones; that in the end, we will have glorious, perfect, and immortal bodies, unburdened by sickness or disability; and that our tears of sadness and loss will be replaced with an abundance of happiness and joy, “good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.”
