Again, Small Desires

I have wanted a surger for years and we planned to get one and it fell through a few times and I just figured it would be a while before it actually happened. A woman moved into the ward who had a surger that was given to her in the past that was barely used and didn't want to take the time to figure out how to use it, so she gave it to me.
My smallest desires are heard. The things in this world that I want are things my Heavenly Father is mindful of.

Small Desires

Two years in a row I have shown up at the school on picture day to help a teacher and end up helping the photographers. This means I get a free portrait package for one of my kids. Every year the price of the package goes up and I decide to take pictures in my own yard. This year I wanted my youngest to have school pictures since I've done it for the older two at least once. (My son got the free package last year.) So I just show up to help her class and they need a parent helper. I think even my smallest desires are heard.

Priceless Peace

This last summer I have felt amazing peace through the good and the bad.  Since my husband has started working on his family farm again, I have felt peace in knowing it is what we are supposed to do as a family. We had some confrontations to fix past conflicts and made it through better.
This peace has been priceless to me since so much has been required of me and there's been so much change. I know my life and happiness is important and what I do matters and how I feel matters too.

Prepare and Prevent

It is better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent.

Dog's Perspective

I want to live my life to be the person my dog thinks I am.

Marriage Warranty

Marriage doesn't come with a guarantee, but it comes with a warranty. Marriages can break or malfunction but we are given tools to fix it as part of the warranty.
