My name is Melissa. I am a 39 Disabled mother of two grown sons. My oldest almost 20 and married for almost a year now. He has two beautiful sons and he and his wife are expecting a baby girl in the Fall. My grandson are ages four and two. My grandchildren are my world. I married to a wonderful man named Allen. We have been married for almost eleven years. We are active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We were recently sealed for Time and All Eternity in the Columbus Ohio Temple! That was a wonderful day for us! All of my friends and family seem to think I have a knack for writing inspirational thoughts and thought I should give blogging a try! So, here goes! I hope that you will enjoy what you read here! 

In light of the events this week, My heart is heavy for our Beloved Prophet, President Monson. As I watching the funeral services for Sister Monson yesterday, I pondered many things. One of which was how truly grateful I am for my Eternal Companion! To hear the loving comments from her children and the people that knew her best and all of the wonderful things that President Monson always said to her touched my heart so deeply. That kind of Eternal Love is so special and priceless! I loved so much, the story that President Eyring told about President and Sister Monson when they had their first date and he met her parents for the first time! That is proof to me that Heavenly Father truly knows each one of us better than we could EVER know ourselves. He knows what we need, he knows WHO we need and he knows just WHEN AND HOW to send them to us! I am so grateful for the Gospel and all that it has brought into my life. I am so grateful for my Eternal Companion and I want him to know that I love him so very much! We are so truly blessed to have the Gospel to keep us strong! I am grateful for every opportunity that the Lord gives me to share the Gospel with those that I love! — feeling blessed.
