You wouldn't believe the week I just had! Even if i tried to explain it in this post, you would not even be able to make sense of it all! So, instead of telling you about it, I will tell you what blessings have come from it. Heavenly Father blesses my life with lots of wonderful people. People who love me and care about me and who brighten my life. He also blesses me with people who need my help. He has blessed me with so many things.
This week I am feeling extra grateful for my a few of those people that He has blessed my life with.......
The one who still loves me and forgave me even though I yelled at her for no good reason.
The one who turned the car around and picked me up and took me where I needed to go even though she was on her way to do something else
The one who answered the phone and was waiting at the door when I got home to comfort me. And the same one who always asks how I am doing when she knows I have been stressed about something.
The one who is just always there to let me vent, to make me laugh and help get my mind off everything. The one who went out of her way to get me places even though she is so busy.
The one who is always there. The one who knew what to do when I didn't. The one who rearranged her whole schedule to help me and didn't complain even once! The one who sat in people stew with me. The one who has called everyday to make sure I am ok. The one who went to all ends of the earth to help me.
The two who saw a need that I had and took care of it without even asking. The two who hardly even know me and have made me feel loved.
These are just a few of the things these people have done to bless my life this week. It would take me hours to tell you all of the things.
We are so lucky to have a Father in Heaven who loves us and knows just what we need. I am so grateful that he put these wonderful people in my life because I don't think I could get by without them. Sometimes I can only see the bad things in my life and worry too much about the things that I can't control, but the things that my friends have done for me have made me stop and be grateful for all that I have.
So, the blessings that have come from my crazy week have been worth every tear and moment of nerve racking stress I have had.

Wendy, your post brought tears to my eyes. What a great example of gratitude. Though your week had many challenges you came out of it a stronger person. Instead of becoming bitter with the "why me" mentality, you saw the blessings of your watchful and loving friends and Heavenly Father. Though you've been in the church a short time, your testimony is nothing close to superficial.
Thanks for your example and I hope you feel you can count on me with anything you need.
I feel bad--I didn't know you were having a bad week!! I'm glad someone was there to lift you up! (Besides head-in-the-clouds me!)
You ARE well loved. I hope you will always remember that. You have ALOT of "family"!
