Simple blessings

I am still smiling about this, so I thought what a better way to make myself smile again than to blog about it and than I can read it again and again. :)
Today is fast Sunday. It's been hard for me to get into the habit of fasting. (let alone just doing it. No habits about it) Especially since I have spent the last 6 years being prego or nursing one of my babies. But I decided that I can do this I really wanted to give it a shot. Prove to myself that I can do this. It's nice when you can get up, run out of time getting ready, and go to church that makes the morning go smooth. But today I taught sunday school. (we teach the 14-18 year olds.) And I am a major emotional eater. I was a little nervous. All I could think of was food. Especially chocolate. I said a prayer in my heart during sacrament while I was watching the boys eat Applejacks that I could have the strength to think of something else. On the way to class I stopped at the library to pick up markers for the board. I was walking with one of the girls in the class. She was saying how hungry she was. I told her that if it wasn't fast Sunday I would of brought everyone chocolate. Because I could use some today to get my nerves through class.
I got to class and opened the bag. I pulled out a marker and I glanced at it, it was a regular marker. Not for dry erase boards. I pulled out the other one while look at the first one. I read the label it said "scented." Of course I had to smell it. Guess what? It smelled just like chocolate! Awesome! Heavenly father does love me. He knew I was trying so hard and sent me a little reminder that I am stronger than I think. Funny huh! Maybe I am reading to much into it.
But it was sure fun to reward the kids in my class with a wiff of the chocolate marker when they read or answered a question.
