I was reading Nienie's blog today ( I do every single day) as you know I love her blog and I always read it especially when I need some uplifting. I was feeling very sad, slow and kind punishing myself for not being a better mom yesterday and taking care of Isaac. The car thing had me very upset. Sometimes I feel not being good enough to take care of these 4 kids without getting in panic mode some days. You know, one of those days like yesterday when you are feeding your baby, getting a drink in a sip cup, helping with homework and listening to a story
ALL IN THE SAME TIME???
I worried all day about things I have no control and was feeling down...
Friday Nienie wrote about having some Tender Mercies from the Lord and she shared the story of a girl called Ashley who just lost her 18 mo baby girl in a fatal drowning accident. This young mom gave me a wake up call. She writes in her blog about her feelings and her little girl's short life. She has a strong and beautiful testimony about the gospel. And I was here complaining about a bill and why MY son is naughty...
I stopped and started thinking about all of the people that have harder things to deal in their lives than a car problem bill like Ashley for example... Made me think that I have my Isaac with me (I still remember fighting that s. tumor in his larynx), that I would not change a single thing about him or being his mom and how thankful I am to have him. I am glad about the Lord Tender Mercies in my life too. I know he wants me to grow and become stronger.
I am also VERY thankful to know that families are forever and that Ashley is going to be little Preslee's mom later. Thanks Heavenly Father for teaching me each day. I love YOU and I KNOW you love ME too!

Isaac and his personality...
Who wears rain boots
when
the sun is shinning outside?? :)
Letter of the day:
Dear Isaac
I love you more each day.
Yes, even when you are naughty and does things
that make me want to SCREAM!!!!
I am so thankful to be your mom
and I know we are going to always be happy together!
Please, can you NOT play in the car again?
Love, Mom.
I cooked Brazilian food for our friends (De Lima and Baglayon families) tonight, I made feijoada, strogonoff and for dessert Pudim de leite and Mousse de Maracuja. I love having them over :)
