Health, Family, Trials

It seems like this month has been one thing after another. One sick child, then another and then another. One sick parent and then one injured parent. It is like this constant struggle and it seems like it is never ending. All in the same month we have had diarrhea, vomit, head injury, scarlet fever, strep throat, cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever, headache, pink eye, broncialitis, lack of sleep, energy, the list goes on. It has been one big trial and it is so easy to ask myself, "Why Me?" Why am I having to go through this trial right now?

It is hard to look sometimes on the bright side when you feel like you are battling with the impossible but that is just it, it isn't impossible and I can get through it and my children will get better but it is how I have learned to deal with it all in the process. I have really had to look inside myself this past month and rely more on my Heavenly Father than I have had to do in a long time. So what is the lesson in all of this? We are not alone, and despite the trials in life our heavenly father is always there for us if we but come unto him and rely on him. I can not rely on my own wisdom, and I can't do it alone. Eventhough this month has been hard dealing with illness, fatigue, and injury; I love my family and I am so grateful to have them by my side through these trials and challenges. And this to shall pass...
