Gratitude

There are times in my life where I get discouraged and beat myself up but some how when that happens, I get bouyed up. Recently, Jake has proven to be a man of God over and again to me. I already knew that he was a gem and a good guy but this month he has re-discovered himself and the Lord. With that said, he has not faltered in his faith, service, nor testimony but re-committed himself. He has set a goal to study the scriptures more frequently individually and as a family but the amazing part to me was the way he has shown his gratitude to our Heavenly Father. During this season, most people write or post on the internet something they are thankful for each day. Jake did just the opposite. He fasted two meals everyday out of gratitude for something different every day. What a lucky person I am to have him as out spiritual leader in our home.

The kids are doing great. Will is now in speech therapy twice a week to help with his speech. The girls are more precious than ever. Last night, Ginny and her dad went to dinner together and Ginny knew of her worth. Jake also left her a note that morning expressing his love for her and how happy he was she was in our family. Christopher is still working on complete mastery of the potty but we are making progress. Aubree is for sure our healthy girl and often makes the healthy choice, even when it is not the fun choice. Life is good for the Farrell family.
