Letter from my Husband…Grateful in our Circumstance

Today was an extremely wonderful day! Not only did I get to wake up, enjoy making breakfast with my kids but I also was able to watch conference today! But the very best thing that happened to me today, and one that I will never forget, was the letter my hubby wrote me before conference today.

Kim, my husband had been reading my blog lately and decided to write me a letter responding to what I have been going through. Never in my life have I felt the spirit so strong from a letter. I cried like a little baby while reading it. I even shared the letter with all of our kids and they said, are you sure Dad wrote this? haha!

Letter from my sweet husband: This letter is very dear and personal to me, but my hope is that by sharing it with you it will strengthen you like it did me.

Honey,

I read all of them today. Keep writing, remain strong, Love me and all of my imperfections, and have FAITH! 

Something is happening to you, to me, to our family. All of us will be strengthened, uplifted and sanctified, no matter what imperfections we have. It is somehow for our good.

This time of year is probably my most favorite time (Spring). It brings new life to everything around us.

I want you to look for the blessings of new life; a baby, a baby rabbit, goat, alpaca, chick (JK). Blossoms, flowers, the song of a bird, the sound of rain or better yet the smell of rain.

 All of our senses will be enlightened in the next few weeks including your physical trials. We will all be strengthened, uplifted and sanctified, if we stop, and make ourselves aware of the smallest changes. Our body, mind, our hearts and our spirits will come alive again.

 I know the things we are doing to help you are working!

I know your body will positively respond, and you will return to normal health and strength. You may not be 18 years old again, but I like you more now. I have trained you the way I want you. Ha Ha! 

You are my life, You are my soul and my Eternal Companion! You are the best Mother and Grand mother any one could ask for. I truly have felt your pain. I could not and probably would not be able to endure the things you have gone through this past few months.

I went on a Mission for two years and gave my life to the Lord. I suffered, felt like I was alone, cried, prayed, and eventually returned home a different person. It seemed at the time the blessings were few, but looking back I realize the blessings were more than I deserve. I continue to receive blessings and always will.

You are on a Mission! You will suffer, feel like you are alone, cry, pray, and I KNOW YOU WILL RETURN TO BEING WHOLE AGAIN! But you will be stronger and more blessed than you think you deserve for the rest of your long life and for Eternity! 

The ragging storm will subside and calm waters are ahead, because of your faith and righteousness and the Love of God. 
I love you, have a great day
Love, Kim

I read this letter right before we started watching General Conference. I was so touched by the very first talk by President Uchtdorf that I felt this letter and what he said went hand in hand with one another.

I knew the Lord was blessing me so richly today through both my husband's letter as well as the talk by Presidnet Uchtdorf.   I am eternally grateful for the strength and growth that is happening to both me and my family!
