A year.

This has been quite a year.  I didn't realize how one event could effect someone for such a long period of time.  Having my mom die has taught me I need to be more compassionate.   I need to mourn with those who mourn.  I also need to find new ways to pull myself out of depression.  Yesterday in church we talked about Staying on the right side of the line,
The discussion we had reminded me of a time our RS president said she made a goal
to put God first.  Make God number 1.  After that lesson I took a dry eraser and wrote on the mirrors make God #1 all over the house.  Recently I've felt strongly that we need to do scripture study every day.  So we have been getting the kids up at 6:10 to read scriptures together on weekdays before Chris goes to work. It is going well.  It makes the mornings smoother for sure.  Plus the kids get started on their chores before school  which makes a huge difference.  I am realizing that I need to myself try to put God first in all things.  I can be a better wife and mother.
