For those of you who haven't paid attention this whole month I have been posting a blessing a day. Since today is the last day of the month I am putting all of these blessings in a post so that I have them on record. I may do something similar for December because it really has given me a positive perspective during a very trying time in my life. I don't want to say much, but Kent and I are struggling through the refiners fire right now and it feels very hot. I know that the Lord will help us through this and as we are faithful and follow the promptings of the spirit we will be blessed. I love the Lord with all my heart and I can feel his hand in my life right now. Like the story says there is one set of footprints in the sand and that is only because I am being carried right now. I also have to thank Jason and Becca for all they did for Kent and I while they were here. I didn't realize at the time how much, but they helped us out immensely and I am so grateful for their love and service! Thank you from the bottom of Kent and my hearts! You truly have been an instrument in the Lord's hands. Thank you!

Hey Just wanted you to know that I did get a message from Kent yesterday thanking us. I appreciate the thank you's but really we did not or do not expect the thanks. It's something we need to do to return thanks to the Lord for all that Jason and I have been blessed with in the past year and because we love you. I wanted you to know that we got the phone call just so you don't think we are ignoring you and to let you know that we feel blessed to be able to give, so thank you for allowing us to serve you!
I love you counting of blessings daily. It's been while since I have been on the computer so I got to catch up all at once. I hope things work out for you and you are in my prayers
