Finding Strength

I don't have cable TV. The main purpose for our small TV is to watch the occasional movies that we find time for. I really want to watch TV today because a super hero in my ward, Stephanie Nielson (mother of 4 who survived, along with her husband, a fatal plane crash last August) will be on Oprah.

I have the once in a lifetime opportunity to Teach her second oldest Jane in my Primary class. Jane is so strong, she is just a wonderful person, and you can tell she was raised by a wonderful mother. Stephanie's days are hard, and she struggles doing things that I take for granted.

I could express for hours about how wonderful I think she is. However, I will say that I believe she is a hero- a Mother Warrior as Oprah's website described her. Every time I am having a bad day, or stressed out, I think of Stephanie. She enjoys the little things. I will enjoy the little things!

Next time this happens, let us know a day ahead of time. We could have made a DVD of it and sent it to you.
