My Epiphany....

Just a quick post here. I have been having such a hard time with patience lately. My kids have been getting into EVERYTHING! They are doing the EXACT opposite of what I say. I mean seriously my patience is shot. So anyways I got up this morning knowing that it was going to be another day w/ the testing of my patience. I was thinking on the way home from taking Beau to school how it was going to be another hard day. Well then I had an epiphany. I thought to myself "Sarah you need to pray and you need to read your scriptures not only for yourself but for the kids as well.". I know it's like DUH HELLO of course. But for me I mean I'll be honest I tr to be diligent but it doesn't always happen. So anyways, here I am reading out loud and what happens? That's right Tuck and Till come and sit on my lap and listen to me read the entire Chapter. I am so dead serious! It was seriously amazing. Anyways, all I have to say is that I felt that through out the remainder of the day I was given that extra bit of patience I needed. And instead of getting frustrated with everything...I thought to myself...."Self, these beautiful babies are not always going to be doing little things like this. And one day you will wish that they were here with you 24-7 doing these things." So blah blah blah. I know this is more like a journal entry but I just thought that this was neat because it was my little or big blessing of the day. So I know this didn't make sense but oh well. haha
