Thanksgiving

From a little Family Home Evening Lesson, our family's thankful tree.

What am I grateful for?  My list is long, but to list the ones that are heavy on my mind and heart right now; here they are (in no particular order)...

*A husband who works his butt-doody off for us, and often sacrifices sleep to do so.

*A husband who loves me and our children.

*My precious children who teach me so much and are alive and well.  Their innocence, child-like faith, and
love.

*Motherhood, and Heavenly Father's trust in me to be a mother.

*Parents that are still alive and love me.

*A super kind-hearted father who always treats me with love and does the same to all those around him.

*A sister who I can always call when I'm having a mental battle and need to talk to a female; or if I just need any kind of help; or if I just feel like chatting and we can talk about whatever and have a good time doing so.  A sister who loves me and my family.

*A temple only a couple of miles from my home.

*The restored gospel.

*The Holy Ghost to help me know right from wrong; and to recognize truth; and to guide, protect, warn, and teach me.

*Forgiveness: to be able to be forgiven by God, and for those who I have wronged that have forgiven me.  I'm also grateful for being able to forgive myself and others.

*My Savior, Jesus Christ, who has set the perfect example and suffered for me so I can repent, grow, and live with my Heavenly Father again.

*A Heavenly Father that gives me everything and always allows me to feel his love daily; and has created a plan of happiness and provides a way to be with our families for eternity.

*That my husband has a job.

*A home, with so many luxuries and things to enjoy and love.

*A body that works and allows me to do so much. 

*The internet that has allowed me to learn so much; provides info. at my finger tips; helps me stay in touch with so many people; gives me a place to take a break from stress; a place to record family history and keep pictures; and has made learning easier.

*All of our family

*Friends that care and stay in touch.

*Nature and it's marvelous beauty, purpose, function, and use.

*Opportunities that have been given to us recently.

*The fact that it's starting to look more promising to move back to UT in just a few months.

*Music, specifically my mp3 player, that makes doing chores fun, late at night.

 *All the lessons I have learned.

*Prayer
