Its kind of hard not to post every day that Jackson is what Im thankful for haha. But sometimes I have a hard time recognizing my other blessings as well. In my circumstances it would be easy to call myself a victim and to see my life as unfair, especially with how Ive been treated in the past.. But I look back at everything.. my marriage, my trials in life before and after my marriage, and I always come to the conclusion that Im grateful for my trials. If we didnt have trials we couldnt progress. We couldnt learn or understand enough to improve and be like Christ. The whole point of this life is to gain experience and be tested, to decide, in whatever trial we go through, whatever circumstances we are in, to choose the right, to choose to follow the Savior even if the storm is raging, and Especially when the storm is raging, even if the suffering doesnt seem to end, and even if we start to lose faith. I am so grateful for my trials because I know in the end they will help me become who Im supposed to be. Im still far from where I want to be, but when I think of my life 2-3 years ago... I have grown and become closer to my father in heaven. In the pain and suffering there can also be peace, if we are willing to endure to the end, stick it out and keep making the right choices, despite how dang hard it can be at times. Because after the fact youll realize it wasnt as hard as you thought it was and that it was worth it. So today I am grateful to have a Heavenly Father who loves me enough to not give me an easy life; to keep me treading in deep water rather than shallow. I have to remind myself when Im going through something that this must be necessary for my salvation, necessary to help me grow into a better person. And ultimately that makes trials an enormous blessing and proof of Gods love for us.
