{Me Thinks....}

JOY .PEACE. LOVE.
When your stuck indoors with all your kids for days
these are important words to remember lol
SO
.....Tomorrow is the day of our apt
with the eye specialist
{{praying we get some good news at least some answers would be nice for K2}}
-------------------------
So what have we been up to in our snow house bound couple of days??
Well a little cookie making, pajama wearing, hot chocolate drinking fun

alot of train playing, reading books, and moviesand actually they played really nice together for the most part!and now we are freezing cold!
---------------------------------
Me thinks
"All of us have problems. We face them every day. How grateful I am that we have difficult things to wrestle with.They keep us young...if that is possible. They keep us alive.They keep us going. They keep us humble. They pull us down to our knees to ask the God of Heaven for help in solving them. Be grateful for your problems, and know that somehow there will come a solution." --President Hinckley

------------------

I am amazed always by those that have serious health problems or all the many other challenges life sometimes presents us with. Amazed at how these same people teach us so many things about life what's important and how they take what life has handed then and find the good in it or a solution to what CAN be done.

Because none of us has life easy and thats the sole purpose we are here for to be tested and tried and its how we come through in the end and what attitude we decide to have.

That makes all the difference. So look around. Learn, watch, and Grow they teach us so much through their examples because one day we to might be just where they are. I want to be the one that has the attitude of gratitude even in the worst of times.

Have a great week!

"because one day we to might be just where they are" That part scares me. ; ) But you are SO right!

I love your Me Thinks. YOU think with such wisdom. YOUR thinking is So beyond your years. Thanks Christal!

Love the pics of the kids playing so well together on your snowed in weekend. That is SO crazy about your entire town being snowed in. I just had a friend return back to Calgary with the Bride and Groom on their way to the airport for their honeymoon....(she was so embarrassed to have to ask for a ride back..) her car is still stuck. Stuck there in your town. Crazy! LOL!

I know that having Tanner has taught me the lesson of having an attitude of being grateful for what I have because there are people that do have it way worse than I do. We'll keep you in our prayers tomorrow. Good luck! Hugs for you
