30 Days of Gratitude: Day 13

Today I am grateful for my children, even if they drive me bonkers sometimes! The ward we attended today in Prescott was having their Sacrament Meeting Primary Program today. During the program one of the little boys was asked, "How do you know Jesus loves you?" He answered, "I know Jesus loves me because he gave me my family." Tears sprang to my eyes. I know Jesus loves me, because He gave ME a family, too. We hoped and prayed and waited for our children to come for over 2 years. During that time my faith was really tested. I didn't understand why I was not receiving the blessing of having children when I was doing all I could. But, then our prayers were answered and three little babies were sent down to join our family. I have truly been blessed.

After that little boy's answer the Primary sang "I Feel My Savior's Love", which is one of my favorite Primary songs. Here are the words:

I feel my Savior’s love,
In all the world around me
His Spirit warms my soul
Through everything I see.

He knows I will follow Him,
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior's love
The love He freely gives me.

I feel my Savior’s love
Its gentleness enfolds me
And when I kneel to pray
My heart is filled with peace.

He knows I will follow Him,
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior’s love
The love He freely gives me.

I feel my Savior’s love
And know that He will bless me
I offer Him my heart;
My shepherd He will be.

He knows I will follow Him,
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior’s love,
The love He freely gives me.

I’ll share my Savior’s love
By serving others freely,
In serving I am blessed,
In giving I receive.

He knows I will follow Him,
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior’s love,
The love He freely gives me.
