I Feel My Savior's Love

I wouldn't feel right with myself if I didn't take a second to jot down my thought on this pass week. My heart is full not only have I just finished listening to General Conference and feel uplifted and encouraged; but this whole week the Lord has once again shown his love for me. He has blessed me with great friends and family. For some bizarre reason I thought I would tackle spring cleaning. It started out fine but then I went to the kitchen (3 days before company) and everything started to fall apart. My teeth were even hurting from the stress! That was last week. By the following Thursday (this week) I had officially thrown in the towel. I realize you can't quit motherhood but homemaker, Yes I Can! And I did. My eyes were heavy. I hadn't slept in weeks normally, and as much as I wanted to try to get my house in order it just wasn't happening. A crying baby can be exhausting. Then add a high maintenance baby to that and you just can't do anything. So I decided I wouldn't. I would just feed and hold Marshall to his little heart's content. If he was willing to let me put him down then bless his little soul. C'mon, I've got to go to the bathroom sometimes! That's when the Lord showed His love for me and let me know, "It's OK." and that I'm not alone. First, He gave me Hyrum. His name means exalted brother. I don't doubt this. He has been first-class helper. He doesn't mind that Mommy sits around in her pajamas half the day holding brother. He handles neglect fairly well. We just watch lots of cartoons together and read books. He doesn't complain to play fetch. He does it with a smile, tells Marshall how much he loves him and that he's a good boy. He helps keep a smile on my face. Secondly, the moment I put "I quit." on my facebook status it was like I set off an alarm. I was distracted from my frustrations for the rest of the day by phone calls and emails from so many wonderful women, my friends, seeing how I was doing and giving comfort. The Lord was just reminding me of the wonderful sisterhood that the Relief Society provides. They are his angels and I am a witness of their errands. Asking for help isn't easy but just knowing that there are people out there that want to help makes life better. I feel my Savior's love today and continuously. It baffles me to think that some people don't believe. How? I seem to have a witness almost every day. My heart goes out to those who's hearts are too hard to recognize when the Savior is sharing his love with them.
