My gifts from God

Over the past couple of months my family and I have been seeing a counselor. Mainly to make sure that we are working on being good parents and help us with the challenges of raising three small kids. Being a parent is not easy and there are days I want to pull my hair out, crawl under a rock and hide and lock myself in my room to get away. But lately I have been working on not yelling so much and I was doing good and then there was a week when we did.t get to go to counseling and I backslide in a major way the yelling or screaming as it really is was horrible!!! My children deserve to be treated better and so that is another reason for getting help. It has made me realize my precious gifts from God. I have been entrusted with their care I have a great responsibility to do the best I can to rear them in righteousness, to be kind, gentle, meek, etc.... Last night I had the opportunity to read my scriptures and the scripture I came across was to search diligently these scriptures. I know in my heart if I continue to work on my spirituality that it will be easier to be the mother I know I can be. I love my little ones and am so thankful the Father in Heaven found me worthy to have them, now it is up to me everyday to realize that and be kind and remember to think before I speak.
