When ever we drive to Utah, 10 hours in the car, I always bring along a hand sewing project, a book or two, and a stack of magazines. I don't know why I pack all that with me in the front seat. All I really need is the Ensign. I read it cover to cover and commit to read it the next month cover to cover. That doesn't happen though. I especially love the short faith promoting stories in the back. Then I read the other short articles. Love those. I have a short attention span I guess. Then, feeling guilty that I passed over the First Presidency's message I flip back to that.
I read and reread President Eyring's message. Recognize, Remember, and Give Thanks. What he wrote about really struck a cord with me. I've been thinking of it ever since. "Journals are a way of counting our blessings and of leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity."
I knew I've been missing something from my life these past few years. So here I go again. Blogging {or in my case, Journaling}.
I love this picture of the children. They remind me of how happy and blessed we are as a family. We have challenges everyday. Someone {me, usually} ends up yelling about something but at the end of the day I can see how blessed we are to have each other.
I'm grateful for that long drive to Utah last week and feeling inspired to blog again. This is for posterity!
