I don't even know where to start to express my feelings right now.

Things are kind of tough right now - stresses I don't want to deal with. Things that I feel are overwelming at times.

But I just read the most heartbreaking story - well, two heartbreaking stories. Stories that make me so very grateful for what I have been blessed with and for my trials which seem so small right now.

My cousin posted about two very strong women who are going through what I would consider the worst possible trial to go through. One woman just lost her infant son and another is praying and hoping and waiting for her son to recover. As I read their blogs, both of these women have expressed their strong testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They are going through horrible trials yet their faith remains strong. What an example to me! What an example they are to the hundreds of people out their reading their blog.

My trials are nothing. I have my family. I have my health. I have my friends. I have faith in my Heavenly Father that I will make it through this rough patch. I know that my Heavenly Father lives. That Jesus lives. That Jesus died for us so that we may return to live with Heavenly Father again. I know that through repentence and obediance to our Father's commandments, we can be an eternal family. I am so blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so blessed to be sealed to my family.

Tonight, as I go to bed, I'll be on my knees thanking our Heavenly Father for all I have been blessed with. And I'll be praying for those mothers and their families that they will be comforted during their trials.

How blessed I am.
