Treading . . .

I'm grateful to know that Heavenly Father knows us better than we know ourselves. I'm grateful He knows just what to give us to humble us, to knock us down a few notches, and draw us up closer to Him. I'm grateful He sent His Son to atone for us that we might have a Friend and Brother who loves us enough to succor us.

I'm grateful to have been given the task of raising two, soon-to-be three sons. They make me laugh. They make me cry. They bring me so much joy. They break my heart. They teach me. They humble me. Through them, I am being molded.

Today is just a moment. Yes, soak in the moment and live in the now and today. But remember for the sobering, more difficult days, "This too shall pass."

And so . . . I'm grateful to be a mother today, but I'm really looking forward to a more optimistic tomorrow with brighter skies on the horizon.
