Today I am grateful for my husband. I have the world's greatest husband, for soooooo many reason. As a watched Tracy baptize Hayden I was so grateful that he is the kind of man that doing that meant so much too. But as I sat and listened to him bless my son and give him the gift of the Holy Ghost, my heart and mind where so full of the love and respect for him. He has such an amazing gift to be able to draw on the powers of heaven and recieve inspiration for his family. There are very few men over the course of my life I that have heard do that. He also has this other personality that has me in stitches every day. I am sometimes a hard person for him to love because I exasperate him with my self-image issues and yet he hangs in there. I read a quote in a book today that really made me realize how much we have to do with how people treat us. Sometimes I think we think we can treat others any way we want and yet there is a certain standard that we expect someone to treat us, no matter what. It was so simple and yet so powerful to me. It read:
- To be loved you must be loveable.
There are days I am not loveable in the way I act and I expect everyone just to deal and love me anyway. I need to work on being loveable and behaving always in a way that brings people up and lift those around me instead of bringing them down. This is my new goal for myself to remember that how I behave will directly affect how people behave towards me. To be loved I must behave in a way that is loveable. I know Tracy always loves me but sometimes the likeability factor is a little low.
