What's mine is yours

I posted this on Facebook and my thoughts turned to so many wonderful friends and family in my life who have lost a loved one. Then my thoughts turned to other things as well.
I have had two miscarriages. One was a few months after Kevin and I were married. I was devastated and worried that I wouldn't be able to carry a child. The second was after I had Andrew. I didn't know I was pregnant which I'm actually grateful for or it would have been harder emotionally. I'm not sure how far along I was as I hadn't started my cycle since I was nursing. I've never been so scared though. I'm guessing I was around four months since I had to deliver. I let my body take it's course and thought all was well until the next month. I was heading up to take a test at the university and as I ran up old main my pants became soaked in blood. I had to go to the ER, there was a lot of tissue left from the miscarriage.
So that came to my thoughts as well as our family.
It's not easy to have Kevin serve as the Bishop. Am I grateful that he is worthy? YES. Is it easy? It's getting easier but I still have my days. I thought of this song in terms of him leaving us on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and the other times things come up.  What's mine is Yours. He's Heavenly Fathers servant. My time is His time. He may be my Husband but he's his Son. He may be our kids Father but he is also the Ward Father. I love that the gospel can put an easier perspective on things. When you think of things in an eternal perspective, life gets brighter and easier. What's mine is yours!
