A Month of Gratitude #10

I am grateful for an easy and fun way to keep in touch with family and friends. When my mom and dad came to Japan, Brynnlee knew exactly who they were because of talking over Skype even though she hadn't seen them face-to-face in eight months!

A Month of Gratitude #8

Today I have had a hard time thinking about what I am grateful for. I guess I have some stresses that are causing me to be worried instead of grateful. As I was goofing around on the internet today while the girls slept, everything started to shake. It was small and then passed, but then suddenly started up again. It scared me. I wasn't really sure what to do. I was wondering which daughter to go and protect. I had just moved Brynnlee's bed away from the air conditioner in her room because I was afraid that during an earthquake it could fall on her. Brynnlee slept through it all. And Pressley woke up scared and crying so I went to her. The quake made me very grateful for sturdy Japanese buildings. I am also very grateful that none of us were hurt. A few things tipped over, but nothing was damaged. I am very grateful that Heavenly Father watches over us--probably more than I even know.
