My Great Blessings!

We have had no easy road to travel, no smooth course to follow. Our family has had it's fair share of trials. Life is not easy! There is no easy answer! This trip we just took has taught me so much! It was suppose to be a little vacation, a drive there, have 2 days of fun, and a drive back. As we are now home I am able to reflect on the trip and how it was fun and so much more! We had such a great time! There was all the emotions, happy that we finally got to the hotel, sad when we couldn't start the van and worry that it might cost a fortune to fix, thankfulness when the lord answered our prayers and it was just our battery, and happy again when we were able to finish all the fun plans we had made. So, this made me think how truly blessed I am to have such an amazing family. They call on the Lord when there is sadness and worry, and thank him when he helps us get through it. These are the people I get to spend an eternity with, and I wouldn;t want to spend it with anyone else! My kids are a testimony to me every day that God answers prayers and that he loves us and watches over us every day! We had been waiting to go on this trip for 5 years and that is a long time, but trips cost money and we have had hard times, but maybe that is what made the trip so great! When you have to struggle for something, it makes it so much more special and it means so much more! It maybe just Salt lake to some people, but to us our dreams had come true, which made it the trip of a lifetime!
