Comfort. Something we all need.
Let's talk pajama's.... very comfortable...warm, like a blanket...Natalie LOVED her pajama pants..they were worn, warm and fuzzy... what better thing than to make them into blankets.... These two blankets belong to Stefanie and Melanie, both are made from Natalie's pajama pants....soft and warm. You are never to old to have a blanket, to be comforted....
Comfort is something that I do not take for granted and that I am especially thankful for, and have had a reaffirmation of this past week.
A beautiful young woman by the name of Chelsi Petersen age 20 was tragically killed in an automobile accident on the 6th of this month. I did not know Chelsi personally, but I have been acquainted with her mother through friends.
My thoughts turned to Chelsi's family and my heart aches for them as I understand the grief and pain they are feeling at this time. But I also know that they are not being left comfortless...I know that they have the Comforter giving them strength beyond what they have, and wrapping them in a warm blanket of assurance that all is well.
Everything I know I learned in Primary....how true is that? I was taught the the Holy Ghost is the Comforter, like a warm blanket...and I have been wrapped in that warmth from the very moment that Natalie was taken back home. Each and every day I am given the knowledge that all is well.
Bill and Lisa, Shayli and Chaz, I know that you are being comforted, wrapped in the blanket of our Heavenly Fathers love...

I love reading your posts. What a great idea to make comforters out of her pajama pants. I am sure the girls cherish them.
I completely agree. My grandmother made me a blanket with my dad's sweatpants and a sheet he used on his bed. I love it! I've taken it to the hospital with me everytime I've had a baby. It is a huge comfort!
Once again, you are amazing. I hope it's ok that I am sharing your blog with my Young women today. Our lesson is on opposition, and I think they can all learn a little about overcoming it with your STRENGTH.. You're such an example to all.
What a sweet post. Chelsi was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside just like Natalie. What a sweetheart you are in thinking of their family.
I love checking in on your comments. You are so positive! Reading this helps me to be a better, more patient mom, knowing that life is so short! Reading this also helps me see where Stef gets her patience, love, and kindness from! You are a wonderful family! Thanks for your stories!
I've been wanting to make a blanket like that for so long with some clothes of my brother's who passed away 11 months ago. I don't sew and you only get one chance with something like this so, I was wondering if you made them yourself or had some do it for you? I would love to make some small ones for his 2 children. I know his 2 year old will not remember except what she learns from us. Anyway, if you can help will you please send me an e mail the6heatons@msn.com or send me a comment. Thank you so much, Stacy
