In my sleepless early morning as I tried to get a little more sleep my mind started counting blessings and it is rather amazing. I think I’ll start at the beginning (don’t worry it will be brief).
The story of my married life goes like this.
We met in May had our first date in June, got engaged in July and married in August. We celebrated our first anniversary with a two month old baby; our fourth we celebrated with four children; two more blessing would come by our eighth and our bonus prize came as we celebrated 12 years of marriage.
Fast forward several years and I realized that in a six year span we will have had six children receive their temple blessing, sent four missionaries out; witnessed four temple sealings; and been blessed with four grandchildren.
The sixth temple blessing happens today when Clarissa goes to receive her endowment in preparation to serving the Detroit Michigan mission. The fourth sealing will be in a week and a half when Ben marries his very beautiful sweetheart Sarah.
My life is truly blessed, I don’t have any idea why I am so blessed but I am and owe it all to a loving Father in Heaven and the beautiful atonement of his Son.
lump in my throat. you are blessed with a beautiful family. enjoy your day at the temple.
