Just my tender mercy...
This is something that probably the rest of the world already knows...I was thinking about things yesterday morning as we got ready for church. And, it was surprisingly peaceful here...everyone was showered and dressed 2 hours early, so I had plenty of time to get dinner going and tidy the house...anyways, it was not the usual 'hurry up' mode of Sunday. In my quiet thoughts, it occurred to me that blessings and trials both come with incredible frequency in our lives. Most often simultaneously. It simply becomes an issue of emphasis. Now I realize that some trials are life altering...and consuming. But that is where my tender mercy spoke to me...I need to improve myself alot in this area. I need to really emphasize and focus on the simple aspects of my life that bring real joy: my husband, my sweet children, and the gospel. I am again so thankful for a patient Father who prompts me through my tough spots. And thankful for the blessings of today!

it is always a great feeling when you are not rushing to get ready for church and seems to let the spirit enter the house so much better. That is one thing I really like about having church at 11:00. There is no yelling to hurry up or the tension which is just a more pieceful feeling.
As for your question on my blog, it is not official that I am having a boy but I have always known what I was having and have not been wrong yet. I just know that this one is a boy so that is what I am preparing for. If I am wrong...which I am not... I will be very pleasantly suprised. I want a girl but I know it is a boy. Those blankets sound cool. I bought one of those big bunting type ones from walmart that have a big elastic that makes the whole thing hook to the outside edge of the carseat. It has a hole for the face which also has a flap that you can close up for the cold weather. It is only good for winter cause it is really thick and warm. It also only works when they are tiny other wise their head smashes into it. I would love to see that kind you are talking about.
Hope you are feeling well!! When do you find out what you are having? Are you finding out?
what a great post julie! i love it when you come up with this stuff b/c it inspires me as well. i feel the spirit so strongly when you write about these things and i really feel like you are so in tune with our Father in Heaven. Thanks for being such a great example for me!
