Tender Mercies...

Jumping on the tramp with my two little hoodlums! They never run out of giggles or laughs when we play!
Little notes from Chasey...
A surprise visit from the ice cream man!


So for awhile now I have been keeping a journal documenting the tender mercies that I have felt in my life. It is amazing how many you can come up with in a day. Things that I usually just smile and enjoy for the moment are now recorded and read frequently to help remind me of the blessings in my life. I was grateful to my mother in law who suggested Dave and I do this. It has changed my life. It is more than just writing down the things we are grateful for, but it is going further and recognizing them as gifts from Heavenly Father. They have ranged from tiny notes left from my children, to opportunities to bear testimony, a sweet phone call from an old friend, an added measure of family time, a priesthood blessing, and the list goes on. I would seriously suggest if you haven't tried to do this before, to try it. It will change your life too :)
