My Perfect World

My perfect world! Some people would say, "I don't live in a perfect world." "There is no perfection in this world." "Are you kidding me Perfect look at all the wrong here and there."
Well my world is perfect, Yea I said it. But don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm rich or famous or have all that my heart desires. I'm just saying my world was made for me. Our loving Heavenly Father created a perfect world for me.
Let me explain this perfection, there are four things that I see, One my husband & family, Two my gifts & talents, Three my home, and Four the gospel.
One my husband and Family, lest us start here today.
Please don't think I'm boasting or saying I'm better than so and so. No way is that true. What I'm trying to say is this, I have been raised in a loving home. I grew up with 2 sisters, a brother, a mom, a dad and many pet animals. My parents loved each of us and each other.
My father would work so hard from 6 in the morning until 6 to 8 in the evening, Monday through Saturday and some Sundays. He taught us what it meant to have integrity in your work. He taught me how to show your love to your spouse. I remember times when he would defend my mom even if it was clear she may have been wrong. He loved and loves my mom so much and it shows through his actions. These moments of learning from him where placed perfectly before me so I could carry that into my family today.
My sweet mother, I have such love for her. I often feel bad that she was stuck at home with 3 hormonal girls and a son who wished he had a brother instead of 3 sisters. I loved the way my mom would pay attention to each of us. She didn't all the time but really who ever could!?! I know even still today if I have a question or need a friend all I have to do is call her. She has shown me what perfect faith in Christ is, which is an open door and loving arms.
My siblings they are perfect.... Yes many are you thinking this lady has to be kidding or crazy. She could in no way have a perfect brother or sisters. Your right they may not be completely perfect. I remember being teased, hair pulled, arguments. Even though these moments happened my siblings have given me perfect examples of Christ like Attributes.
Shauntell my older sister has shown me how to endure with Christ by your side and to have full faith in the scriptures. As I watched her and her family grow I've been blessed to see what it means to have Faith. All the random calls we had she always bore her testimony and the truths she found as she searched the scriptures. Never once have I quested her Faith.
Dwayne my big brother, He was an awesome ability to find Joy around him and for being Patient (especially with three sisters). When I was a teen I was a little to moody at times & Dwayne would try so hard to make me laugh or have some fun. One time he was driving home and decide make a pit stop to flip some doughnuts in the parking lot. I was scared but I got out of my funky mood and laughed. Then I remember I had a paper do in class, I wrote it of coarse the day before and he stayed up all night to correct it, what Patience he had.
Danielle my big spiritual, little sister. She is my 4 years apart twin, I swear we were suppose to be born as twins. She has shown me what Obedience means. I remember there was a show that I really wanted to watch and she flat out said, "I don't think this is allowing the spirit to be here, we need to turn it off." Of course I was mad being the old sister and having your little sister telling me what to do. But I knew she was right, we turned it off. Even today she shows me what Obedience is. She is also a great example of Love. I never feel judged by her, I feel like I belong when I'm around her.
Last but not lest my Sweet Hubby, Andy. He is my other half. I really don't know what I would be like if he wasn't around. He is my calming water, I feel so much peace when I'm around him. Of course there are those days when everything gets on your nerves. Or when your Hubby decides to be a tornado and tare up the house when your gone. But I know he tries so hard to do his best. He shows me that no matter what happens in life you have a choice to be happy or not. He makes me laugh all the time, we have so many inside jokes it's hard to have conversations with other people because they wouldn't get what we're talking about. The thing I love most is he loves me. I could have the flu or look like I was drugged through the dirt and he still would hold me and kiss me. I love him so much.
I'll stop this novel right here and maybe add my other perfect thoughts latter. Thanks for reading and hopefully you were entertained.

I read this to Dwayne tonight and he thought as I started reading "last but not least" you were going to mention Marvin ;)
I'm so glad that we met and I have the opportunity to be your sis in law and that our daughter has the privilege of being named after you!
