I Stand All Amazed

There are a bunch of events I have not posted due to lack of time. There are pictures and fun memories to be written, but this is what is on my mind today. It was a difficult morning with Liam and Troy. Liam requiring a lot of attention + Troy suffering from a lack of attention = a lot of crying by all three of us. With that said, I am so humbled and grateful for my Savior today. Today I am tearing up every time I see one of our pictures of Christ, or I need to pray on the food, or I talk about scheduling the temple. Let me explain why.

After I put Troy down for his nap, I was rocking Liam to sleep while I listened to an EFY cd. I was feeling sub-par as a mother and not sure how to change. The song, "I Stand All Amazed" was playing and I felt this overwhelming love from the Savior. This love was so humbling because I had just been impatient with my innocent children. And if the Savior can love me when I am being imperfect, shouldn't it be so much easier to love my children who are innocent and pure souls. My answer was to feel my Savior's love.

I hope to remember the lessons I learn as a young mother, rather than the physical and emotional toll it takes.Today, I feel my Savior's love more than I ever have, and "I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me." I know His love for me will increase my love for my children and make me a more patient and loving mother. I also know that I cannot do this by myself. I need my Savior's help and love. I've learned this lesson so many times, but I had to learn it again today. I didn't expect to feel so much love after such a stressful morning. Our Savior is truly wonderful.
