Gratitude Monday

-
 

This morning S.T.U.N.K. Hopefully my afternoon will go a lot better. I am babysitting a 3 month old baby girl and a 3 yr old girl who loves dogs so it should go well! Since I had a rough morning, I decided to be GRATEFUL. I am Grateful for:

1. The fact that I thought ahead and made myself a sandwich this morning along with everyone else's so when I got home and was too drained to make myself some food, it was there waiting for me!

2. Orange Icees at Target.

3. Cash back so I don't have to make a separate run to the Bank!

4. E-mail on my phone to keep up with all of the family updates! (reunion in Shoup, Idaho next year? Yes, please!!!)

5. A Ross very conveniently located next to the Target and a few fun finds!

6. Sisters who can listen and understand my woes.

7. Josh picking up the phone at work even though he is super busy.

8. End of the year sub jobs- boy, am I busy these next 2 weeks (including one job for Jonah's teacher!)

9. Sugar Snap peas fresh from the vine, delivered to my door, that I didn't have to plant, water, get my fingernails dirty with (have I mentioned that I don't like getting dirt in my nails? I do want a small garden one day though!)

10. The Power of Prayer (when I remember to use it!) Thank you Heavenly Father!

This is my thankful blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

100.8!

Asher, playing the guitar at Elizabeth's piano studio I love how about half my readers are in California so that if I wait until 11 am or 12 pm to post it's only 8 am or 9 am there. Of course that makes it hard when you want to call your Mom at 9 in the morning and it's 6 am there! Oh, well! Also, some people in California have not been posting on their blogs. I won't name any names, Kristen! I don't want my blog to be a woe-is-me blog all the time. But, here I go. We are home again today, missing another field trip- this time for Ethan and Jonah (hopefully I'll get my $ back). Asher was burning up at 6 am when I checked his forehead while he slept and I knew that wasn't good! He woke up with a fever of 100.8- bleh! It was low enough to maybe take him to the babysitters- but 100.8 is still pretty high. Plus, he was clingy and grumpy. Plus, I started having that weird ringing in my ears that caused me to miss all of Church a week and a half ago. I can't e...

I was on a podcast!

Katrina Kleinman is married to my nephew Alec. She started a podcast called I feel my Savior’s Love. A few months ago, she put out a call for guests. I texted her and a little later we talked on zoom- talking about an experience (or two) where I have felt my Savior’s love for me specifically. I was pretty nervous but I think it went well. I haven’t listened to it yet since the sound of my own voice is weird to me! Without further ado, here it is: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-feel-my-saviors-love/id1799605905?i=1000709372418 Enjoy! ❤️❤️❤️

Holy Week

This week has been one of wonder and amazement for me. I usually celebrate the Holy week of Easter by remembering what took place each day of the week. This week has been extra special for me. I'm not sure why- maybe it's because we are studying Easter for Come Follow Me for Church or because I have two missionaries out serving who are sacrificing their time and talents to serving the Lord full time and I know what a sacrifice it is for them. They have taken Jesus's name upon their chest and represent Him full time. Or maybe it's because I have another son who is getting ready to serve just like they are- his mission papers just submitted this Tuesday evening. My life seems embedded and imbued with the thought of Jesus Christ and His Love and Sacrifice for me and for us all. It might be too, that my social media accounts- mostly Instagram- has been filled with post after post of Jesus Christ. How on Sunday He entered Jerusalem for the last time under waving palm fronds,...
