Gratitude post Nov 30, 2012

   Day 30..Today I am grateful for witnessing firsthand the goodness of human nature. I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from so many different sources! I have learned the importance of kindness... it was a post that I posted right before our shocking news of the accident with Madeline Morris, Taylor Morris and Bailee Brinkerhoff I didn't then have any clue that I would shortly see the power of kindness bestowed upon our family. I also didn't understand how kind our Heavenly father would be to me personally. Each time I would think " I wish this would happen or wouldn't this be nice, he would bring it into my life. Two happened yesterday... The first on the way to the hospital.. I had a very sweet experience with Madie in the summer of 2011 when we were going to the Temple one morning. My father had recently passed away and I told her about when I was a teenager I loved rainbows. I told her about a song of a little boy who's mother was dying and in the chorus the song talks about her telling him that she would build him a rainbow, way up high above, sprinkle down sunlight , all plum full of love, sprinkle down raindrops, teardrops of joy, I'll be happy in heaven watching over my boy. As we went around the corner after telling her this there in the sky was a big rainbow. I started crying and told her my father was saying hello... I wondered if Madie would send me the same message. Yesterday morning without any rain there it was as we were driving.. a wide rainbow...I started crying in the car... Then as we were flying home I would hope we would fly over where the accident occurred. sure enough, I was watching... along came the grand canyon, then soon I saw off in the distance Flagstaff, and the road leading there.. 89 . As we flew over I was grateful for twice in a day Heavenly father granting something that had only been a thought in my mind...
