The sins I always feel the most harrowed up over always have to do with being a Mother.

This is off topic (great for a first post) but the above quote made me think about an experience I just had a few days ago.

I was knelt in prayer, subconsciously singing "count your many blessings, name them one by one". Once I paused to listen I realized I was internally singing this hymn. So I said "Okay, Father in heaven. I am going to count my many blessings and name them one by one". I proceed to do so. It took a while and I wasn't even close to finishing when I finally realized that I was literally naming them one by one...for they all had a name...and practically all of them where people, my wife and children being right up at the top of the list with our Savior.

It was very nice to have this realization. I have known since day one that they are a blessing...but knowing the book to be true isn't the same as reading the true book. Knowing my children are a blessing isnt the same as looking at them, speaking to them, playing with them and treating them as the blessing they are.

This brings a patience, a love...that is long lasting. A literal and constant realization that these people are blessings...treasures given to us by Him. Makes me feel a little bit closer.
