Angels in Nova Scotia

I have been nervous. I have probably complained too much. I was scared with all that was changing and happening in my life so fast. I should have taken a moment to realize and be grateful that the Lord was always by my side. I was never alone. He has been watching over me all along, and continues to use his children to help me and bless my life.
To all of you who have eased my mind, had us in your prayers, and lended a helping hand, may I just simply say, Thank you.
To the Relief Society sisters who have already brought meals BEFORE the baby has even arrived, and who have watched my daughter, and who continue to offer to watch her, or offer to do my shopping, or call to see how I am doing, or help me find my way around the hospital, Your help and thoughtfulness is out of this world, and so appreciated.
To the complete strangers who help load my groceries, buckle in Miley, take my shopping cart for me, and then ask if I need help getting home, You have made me feel like a million bucks, and taught me a whole new lesson on kindness and going the extra mile in a matter of minutes.
And of course to my spouse who's endless efforts to make life more comfortable, and be there for me every minute make me feel like I have my own personal guardian angel on Earth. Thank you. I treasure you.
The service, love, and outpouring of support is no doubt the work of the Almighty. These angels have been there to lift me, and buoy me up, and helped me so that my burdens could become light. I am truly grateful, and will pray that the Lord bless your lives as you have blessed mine.

You haven't complained at all and you have deserved all of the help that has been given to you! Everyone in our ward in Logan has experienced your helpfulness and kindness many times... you were the first person to call me or text me when I was having a hard time with both of my pregnancies and I have always been grateful for all of your help. You really are the best Jess and deserve all of the help you have gotten. I am so excited for your little baby boy to get here! Only a few more days!!! I hope everything is going good! We miss you guys!

Hey Jess,
Yes you can for sure order through me. When you want to order shoot me an e-mail or let me know. There is something that I have to sign for with scentsy for over the border stuff. So before you order I will need to take care of that.
Let us know when the little guy comes! I can't believe you are about to have him! How exciting!! We can't wait to see pictures!
