Every precious moment

So last Wednesday Sarah started getting sick and then on Thursday and Friday she began to throw up every time she ate because she was coughing so hard. So Friday afternoon we took her to our doctor to find out she was sick she might need to be hospitalized. Now if any of you have ever had a moment like this you know what was racing through my mind...I just wanted to cry and I felt so helpless for her. After running a few more vitals, an asthma treatment and many silent prayers on my part (and the blessing Steve gave her on Wednesday night) the doctor said well she will not have to go to the hospital now. Her oxygen was good but her respiratory rate was too high...so he said he wouldn't be surprised if she didn't end up at the hospital this weekend, but he would be hopeful and gave me some prescriptions for her. When I came home and told Steve all that had happened he decided with his brother to give her another blessing, and in the blessing it said she would be OK. When Steve and I talked he said something that had never crossed my mind...he said the blessing is probably what kept her from going to the hospital to be checked in. I am so grateful for priesthood blessings because I know there have been many miracles occur in my own life because of them. And I am so grateful to a worthy priesthood holder who is always there to give a blessing and to reassure me whenever I feel I have a little lack of faith...what a great man I married. They always say to marry up...and I did this...I don't think I could have ever found a better man than Steve. And most of all I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who loves me and especially my little girl so much that he has healed her. In a previous blessing a few weeks ago it said that Heavenly Father missed having Sarah with him very much...what a precious spirit she is and I am grateful to My Heavenly Father for blessing my life with her and the other 4 wonderful kids I have. This has made me realize that I take my kids for granted sometimes and I need to take more time to snuggle, to play with them, and to just talk with them...because soon they will be grown and then I will be sad that I didn't do that while they were young(after all Byron is already 9...where did the time go!!!).
