1. I am grateful for our friends in our ward. Today, we got to early to Church--and we got to sit by our adopted family. We also ended up sitting in front of the Bishop's family. He has 3 daughters, and as we sang the opening hymn, I looked back and each of the daughters had taken a baby from the families around them. I looked over and the Peaceful Hero was calmly sitting in one daughter's arms. (She did have food.) He stayed with her for the whole meeting. I was able to hear more of the meeting than I have in several months. I am grateful for their love and service. These daughters were so excited to see babies and hold and snuggle them, and practice loving them as they will love future children. I loved the spirit there.
2. I am grateful for my calling as a Primary Teacher. I had to take both boys with me to Primary today, and my class just ate them up. They were so willing to help hold, and entertain these boys. My class are 6 and 7 year olds and they were so excited to play with a 2 year old and a 1 year old. I am grateful for their love and awesomeness.
3. I am grateful for my friends. I was in sharing time, and tried to get Friendly Hero to share with Peaceful Hero. The sister, my dear friend, who was teaching looked up and asked me how I knew that it--the sacrament trays--weren't metal...I apologized for interrupting her lesson, she thought that I was correcting her, when I was telling someone to share his cereal. It made for a great laugh. I just love my friends.
4. I am grateful for Friendly Hero and what a good big brother he is. I had to use the bathroom, and as I was washing my hands, he starts frantically telling me, "Mommy, come get Peaceful Hero!" I race out to find FH standing on the third stair, with a head first PH propped up on FH's belly. FH had caught PH from falling down the stairs, and he couldn't move and was worried that they both were going to fall down the stairs. FH is a wonderful brother--he loves him dearly.
5. I am grateful for family. I love my family, both sides. They are just awesome!
