I'm blogging lifting this week from Jill cause she wrote what I was thinking today but am to lazy write much today. {Thanks Jill.}
She has an awesome blog we share a lot in common that's one of the joys in blogging I guess is finding people out there who understand or are going through the same things and learning and growing together all of us, its so fun!
ANYWAY
"I'm so grateful for blogging.
I think you all would agree with me!
We all blog, for some reason or another...because we personally get something out of it!
I love my new friends.
I love the immeasurable vastness of it...
I'm grateful for the support I receive through it.
(thank you all for your kind words)
I love the entertainment value.
I'm thankful so many people put it out there for all to see...
Thank you for sharing your life with me.
Thank you for your examples.
As you all read my blog, you see I am
happy and I love my life.
WE ALL HAVE GOOD AND BAD
that we trudge through day after day.
Some people convey only the good on their blogs. Some people convey only the bad.
I don't think I have a focus.
I blog my life.
I could make this post a mile long listing all the blessings that I have.
I have an amazing husband, three beautiful kids, health and strength, a supportive family,
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I am so grateful for my life!!"

In saying that I just want to share three links to peoples blogs that are going through so much some of the people I've written about lately. Two are our friends who we've know for along time. The cj one is a family my sister told me about last night. Thanks for sharing DJ.
I spent forever reading through it and crying at the suffering this family is going through right now. If you can do anything do it!!
Pass the word along on your blog too they need all the prayers and love and donations anybody can give.
The links are
CJ run -Scroll down about 3/4 of the way to start at the beginning of the story
Then there is Coralee and Cam
and then Casey and Lani
***As a side note anyone involved with adoption check out kim's adoption scam horrible and sad that there are such horrible mean people out there!!***
----------------------------------------------------------------
When I read their blogs each time I feel so sad but I also feel thankful for the blessings I have, it makes me more aware and thankful for the trials we are given, and for all the tender mercies we all are given.
The sick, the healthy, all of us.
We have so much to be thankful for.
Life has so many unknowns sometimes.

You can blog lift anytime! Glad I could help. lol.
It is so nice to have someone who completely understands what you feel...and we know that about each other. Thanks for sharing your life as well!!
As much as trials suck, it seems like there is always someone who has it worse. It's so great to put into light just what life is all about!! Every person has struggles, big or small, but if we can all learn from one another, love and support one another, what a great world this would be! My heart constantly aches for those suffering in different ways as well. It's a hard world we agreed to live in!
WOW! Christal. Once again you really make me think. Those stories are just horrible. Horrible things sure do happen to good people. I thank you for sharing them however. I always think "What can I learn from this?" Patience? Appreciation? Empathy? More love and kindness? Give a little more to others?
I like what Jill wrote about blogging. I too feel the same way. It's been amazing.
Love the pics of your kids. I think Lauren is just the cutest little girl ever!
I looked at those blogs you mentioned about. I can't begin to imagine some trials people have to go through. I look at my life and I am healthy, my children are healthy, and all this stuff...and then I complain about stupid things not working out in my life. I definitely have no room to complain. Thanks for your comments! They really brighten my day!
Have a great weekend!
Oh those stories break my heart! I hate it that things like that happen to such great people. Life is so hard! It really is a wake up call to appreciate life while we are here and enjoy everything, especially the little things we take for granted each day. Thank you!
Your kids are darling! I love that they sat forever stacking cans. Oh the simple joys. Kids are the best!
I loved that post on Jill's blog too! LOVE the pics of your kids too! I'm off to check out those blogs you posted about. :) Have a great weekend!!
Can towers!? How great!
Note to self: Need more can food! LOL!
I love when kids get into such simple playtime. You know their imaginations are making more out of it than what you are seeing.
Beautiful photos...and thanks for sharing the scamming story. SO sad to hear about your friends...will remember them in my heart and thoughts and prayers.
