Relief Society General Conference 2010

I just finished watching the Relief Society General Conference broadcast, and it was nothing short of AMAZING! I love conference time of year, and I especially love the Relief Society broadcast. I always am able to glean something from it that is oh so pertinent to my life. Spiritually, it's a necessity for me.
I was really touched with the opening song, in fact it brought me to tears. I was so choked up, but I wanted to keep singing so I did. Gabi laughed at me as she was trying to lead the music. I was watching it from home since Isaac was working, and we still need to be very careful with where we take Madi.

Here are the words of the song, they really hit home;

Count your Many Blessings

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings;
Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one,
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings;
Every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one,
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.
Count your many blessings;
Money cannot buy
Your reward in Heaven nor your home on high.

Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one,
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.

So amid the conflict,
whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged;
God is over all.
Count your many blessings;
angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.

Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one,
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.

The words of this song are so applicable, no matter what you are going through in life. As we were singing this song I felt a wave of relief. The past few months have been hard, I cannot deny or hide that. We have struggled with several different things. We are so grateful for the medical care that Madi received, and which literally saved her life. We are so grateful for the love and prayers said in Madi's behalf. We have felt those. Thank you to all of us who have helped us out in a variety of different ways. You have been an answer to our prayers, whether you know it or not. As the medical bills have been pouring in daily the last week, the financial weight has been added to our load, I have struggled to know what to do. As I listed to that song, it was comforting to know that Heavenly Father is there for us always, and he desires for us to be happy. We truly are blessed, I cannot deny that.

A few of my blessings;
