he should sleep well...

well i finally got the kids ready for bed and in their beds..then i called amy novak to come sit while they slept and i took off to the hospital to make sure jons nose was clear and he was breathing..apparently only i have the touch! so we visited...we went over house stuff, business stuff, insurance stuff, etc..he's been SO out of the loop about it all he LOVED hearing about everything that was going on...he felt like he was involved in what was happening around him....so that was good for us to talk...
i told him about a few families that had mentioned that THEIR lives were changing because of jons trial..he said "i dont know how my suffering would make anyone want to change what they are doing?"... i told him "it makes people stop, think and reaccess what they are doing in their own lives...some people are working on being more patient, kind, gentle to their spouse or children, some people are now truly seeking to know who Jesus and Heavenly Father are, some people for the first time are honestly trying to fast and pray with a sincere heart..you have giving people something to believe in, to hope for, to pray for...people are taking the time to really think about how they feel about those around them..in just 3 seconds our life completely changed right before our eyes...they still have an opportunity to make wrong things right before something of this magnitude happens in their lives..."
we thought man were so lucky that we were doing so many right things, fhe, prayer, scriptures, our relationship with eachother, with out children, with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, our home life, our business life, we didnt get ourselves into a lot of debt..we only have our house payment and my truck..we saved for a rainy day..who knew that our rainy day would be so TORENTUAL!!!!!!! but nonetheless, weve been told all our lives thru the Gospel to have things in order...and "if ye are prepared..ye shall not fear" boy is that SO TRUE for us!!!!!! we did our best to prepare for every needful thing...and we are seeing the blessing of following that principle...
thank you to everyone helping...its sure making a difference in our lives right now...the dinners have been wonderful - OH PS NO MORE DESSERTS!! i cant keep up with all the desserts that come in with the dinners...we have a family rule that dessert is only after fhe, and friday, saturday and maybe sundays..i was just thinking today..the dinners have been SO NICE!!! i cant imagine trying to think of "what to make, shop for it, cook it, then clean it" on top of everything else im trying to do myself...so thank you so very very much!!!!!
just so everyone knows...the girls will be gone this weekend..so no need for dinners this weekend..i can just grab carls jr or something easy...
also kevin and bonnie are not here..im trying to stay home here with my girls and our little family to try to keep things back to normal..i sense that rachel was kinda done having so much going on all the time..different people here..never knowing who was going to be here after school...they love that its getting back to normal..as do i...like coming home from a vacation...back into the groove of things...so my new plan is to be home monday-friday and trying to find someone each night from 730pm-930/10pm...i will have them fed..and ready for bed..so someone can just come read a quick bedtime story and into bed they go..i have really good kids that go to bed REALLY WELL!! that way i can be with jon each night before he goes to bed so we can tell eachother about our day..he's rested up a bit after ALL his PT during the day..and like he said "he can have sweet dreams because i was the last one he saw"...we can both go to sleep knowing the other is happy and content..
again if anyone is available during those times let me know...THANKS!
