I love this poem by my friend Lindy. It says it all enjoy....
I feel blessed to have chosen Heavenly Fathers Plan
To be born at this time, and to be who I am
I am blessed to have all my children still small
Who make me feel busy and loved and on the ball
I am blessed with my friends, so few yet so filling
Who help me and love me and always are willing
I am blessed with the spirit that guides me with care
To help those around me and when to beware
I am guilty of trusting people around me too much
I often am hurt and knocked down by their touch
But I must be accepting and not quick to find fault
Indeed I dont know their troubles and thoughts
So I am writing this down, so I remember I'm blessed
With a house full of family and often times guests
I am blessed with a concern and love for whom I meet
And seem to feel their burdens no matter how weak
I am blessed with enough to help and reach out
To those who need help, the promptings I don't doubt
In these hard times of stress I'm trying to focus
On the things that are good, that people matter most
I wish I could fix the problems and pain
That affect so many in this time of distain
But, fix I cannot, although I can press on
And do what I can to help others move on
When what I want is to stay in my bed
And shut the light out with blankets over my head
On my knees I must fall and plead with the Lord
That my burdens may be light and my mind on board
I am so blessed in my life to know YOU
To listen and learn from my friends, though they are few
I choose friends with care and they fit no one pattern
All different, all special, All to me very much matter
I listen with care as I try to fill needs
I hope I can fill up where lacking you may be
I feel so blessed and will shirk negative thoughts
Brought by economy and news and feelings distraught
I am blessed with a home and a family so dear
The things that matter to me are always near
As I love my kids and they share their love
I hope I can teach that what matters is above
We all chose the plan, which is why we are here
The spirit promised to stay close when hope disappears
I feel blessed with my knowledge and covenants I've made
I hope to share what Christ for me gave
So in this time of much turmoil and fear
I have trust in the Lord, and know he is near
I am blessed.
