"My Greatest Blessings"

Why do I deserve this? This has run through my head over and over and over again. I am not the most beautiful, I am not the most talented, I am not the skinniest girl, I am not the nicest person all the time, I am not physically normal. I have a disability. I have a stupid disability. I walk and people can see that I am different. I wished that the only could get a birds eye view of what goes on within myself. I am normal. I am just as beautiful as every other girl that walks normal down the street. I am talented. My Heavenly Father has blessed me with so many talents (I just need to develop them more so I don't loose them), I am skinny (I have had 4 kids, and that muffin top is proof of it, maybe not model skinny but muscle does weigh more than fat), I am a nice person that loves to serve others so when my life is feeling completely out of control and I can't get a grip on it I reach out to others that are struggling and those struggles may be more than my own, and why not get my mind off of the "Whoa Me's" that my life sucks! Well guess what.......Life doesn't suck! I have the best life in the world. Yes, I was hit with a divorce this past year, but I am not going to let that determine how my life moves forward now. I am so blessed. I have 4 amazing children. Tabby is so helpful, I can ask her to help me with anything, and even with the 13 year old response, "Welllllll, of course NOT!" I turn my head and blessed that girls heart she is doing what I have asked, and goes beyond what I have asked of her. She is my right hand!! Travis is so creative. He loves to draw anything he sets his mind to. He asked me just yesterday "Mom, where did I get my drawing talents from you or Dad?" Well of course me I told him, but honestly his Dad nor I draw. He loves to build and create things out of legoes. He has this fascination of legoes. He is always building something new, and showing it of too everyone, including the neighbors while they are mowing their lawn. Bryson he is my head strong child. He can be very bull headed. I will be honest he gets that from me. (If someone has to take the blame on things, I will be honest it is me this.) It can get hard at times with him when he sets his mind to something if it doesn't goes his way then pretty much everyone must take the highway and stay clear of him. Benjamin is so loving! He loves everyone and if you are a girl don't be suprised if he calls you "Girlfriend". I am so blessed to have 4 amazing children that love me. They love me for who I am, and look past all my imperfections. I am the most blessed Mom in the world, and would not trade one thing for any of this.
