On October 19, Jayme was in a scary accident. He was distracted and hit a barrier flipping his car. Thankfully he was not injured, but it so easily could have been much worse. Having this trial has made me focus in on the important things, my blessing, the things I am most grateful for. I am grateful Jayme is alive, I am grateful for a sister that is willing to drop everything to come help me when I need her most. I am grateful for a wonderful family. I am grateful for my 4 kids, even when they drive me wild :) I am grateful for good doctors for Bethany. I am grateful for a good teacher for Marcee. I could go on and on...Inspired by my sister, I had my family make a gratitude poster for family home evening. I want my kids to recognize how much we have to be thankful for. We all talked about the things we are most grateful for. Jameson said the wii, Bethany said friends and family and Marcee thought about freedom. They even brought up little things like smiles and hugs! I am grateful for little and big teaching moments with my kids.
"Regardless of our circumstances, each of us has much for which to be grateful if we will but pause and contemplate our blessings." President Thomas S. Monson
