For the longest time (about 3 months), Ellora only had her two bottom teeth. She looked like a little mouse. Finally, this past week she cut...(drum roll, please)...not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR new teeth on top. It's been an interesting week for us, but all things considered, she was a pretty good sport.
Today was our stake conference. One of the speakers said something really interesting. He was speaking about blessings and trials and said, "Some people are blessed with great riches, and some people are cursed by them. Some people are cursed with poor health, but some people are blessed with it." Our blessings and trials will help us to improve inasmuch as we are humble, patient, and faithful.
Thanks for the reminder. So, I think Will is finally getting his FIRST tooth, hence the reason for the middle-of-the night comment.
ReplyDeleteThat is really good. I was talking with Grandma about Grandpa and his enduring to the very end. It made me really think that it isn't really all about what happens to us as we live our lives but HOW we live our lives, regardless of what happens to us. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWow, four teeth at once! Poor girl, I hope she's doing good.
ReplyDeleteYour comments about stake conference reminded me of another thought I heard. Nephi, Laman, and Lemuel all went back for the plates. They were all obedient. But Nephi did it willingly with a good attitude. Laman and Lemuel did it grudgingly and complained a lot. They had the same experience, but one will be blessed for it while the others will not. Reminds me to do things well, with good intent.
