To be meek and lowly of heart are gifts from Heavenly Father through the spirit. With the atonement I can leave my weaknesses behind. I can overcome my addictions and unrighteous desires. I can gain a relationship with Him and know how to help and comfort others. Constant prayer and scripture study. Even Journal writing. Yesterday I had a huge setback. I yelled and beat my dog for peeing in my house. Then I yelled at my children. I realized afterward what I had done and had to separate myself from everyone to calm down and pray for strength to continue the rest of the night. What a horrible feeling to lose control! Yesterday was just a horrible day! The kids and I made Alan late for work and he will get a recorded reprimand, then I popped Hannah's wrist our of place trying to move her out of the cupboard and her throwing a fit by dropping down. It popped back into place by itself but good grief! 3 hours later. Then Alan gets called into an exercise and can't come home right away. Then the dog pees on my wall. ARGH! Today is going to be a good day! I will make it so! We get our Thanksgiving basket and we get to go to the Library. I want to check out some ABC books and read them to the kids. I also need to do several other things during the day today. It will be a good day! I will practice self control and be aware and present with my children. It is going to be great!
