Wow. I had really bad case of P.L.O.M. disease yesterday, (Poor Little Old Me), sorry about that. When I think about the trials and challenges that so many people are facing these days, I really feel ridiculous for feeling sorry for myself.
I'd like to share one of my favorite scriptures with you. This one is my new "theme" to carry me through when I feel tempted to be discouraged.
It's from Doctrine and Covenants 78:17-19 and it is revelation given through Joseph Smith, the Prophet from the Lord Jesus Christ.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;
"And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours.
"And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea more."
Among so many things--today I am thankful for my family. The other night while the little girls were in the bath they were playing and just getting along so well. Kate said, "Mom, if you didn't have a baby it would not be any fun." I could tell that was her way of saying that she was thankful for her little sister. Again, I am thankful for my family.

Awww sweet Kate. That was really wonderful Janet. Thank you for sharing that.
Thanks for that. I feel like that all the time (the PLOM part). I know I need to stop and remind myself more that I'm very blessed. The other day after his super bad day, Bubba told me that no other kid had as hard a life as him. I was like, "Really? Because there are kids starving all over the world, and kids who get hit by their parents." I guess we all need a reminder sometimes.
