Comfort

We had about 18 inches of snow drop on us today. While I love the beauty of a snow covered scene, the travel related implications make me extremely anxious. Throw newborn/adjusting toddler sleep patterns and all my post-partum hormones into the mix and we have the messy state of my feelings this afternoon as I dealt with the prospect of Jordan leaving for work. Before noon today, I'd been able to keep my anxiety at bay reasonably well, but quickly reached the point of needing a little help.

Which brings me to my point. My Heavenly Father and my Savior know me and they know my needs. I am blessed to have a husband willing and able to call down blessings from the Father in my behalf. Each time my dear husband has given me a Priesthood blessing, I come away feeling at peace again. Whether I am given very specific and powerful promises or general and almost vague counsel, I know that my Father knows my heart and cares for me as an individual. Never doubt the love of God or the all encompassing power of the Atonement. My Savior's sacrifice covers more than just sin. He has felt my frustration and self-doubt as well as my anxiety and fear. It's nice to have access to a Priesthood reminder every now and again.
