Gratitude

Lately I've read a lot about people expressing their thanks for something different each day of November until Thanksgiving.  I think it is a wonderful way to count my blessings.  With that being said I need to catch up. :)

First, I am deeply grateful for my husband! He is everything I need to learn and become better in this life. I know that with him by my side I can achieve greatness in the eyes of God! Bubby, I love you!

Second, I am so grateful for my sisters. They have been my best friends for my whole life! They are always there to make me laugh and feel better! I'm so lucky tohave them in my life!

Third, I have the best brother ever!  I am so grateful that he is part of my family. We wouldn't be the same without him!

Fourth, I'm forever grateful for my parents! It is such a huge blessing to have them here to guide and help me! I know that not everyone has parents in their lives and even when they do have their parents, they aren't always the best.  I love my parents and trust them a lot!!



Fifth, I am grateful for the true and complete gospel of Christ in my life.  With this gospel, I strive to be a better person and be better towards other people.  How blessed I am to have the Lord on my side to help me through the ups and downs of life!



Sixth, I am grateful for America!  What a wonderful opportunity I have to live in a free country with the power to vote and work and worship how I choose.  It is a great blessing to be here!  I love the USA. :)



Seventh, I am extremely grateful for my grandparents.  I have both pairs of grandparents, which is a blessing alone.  Bubby is blessed to still have one grandpa and a step-grandma.  Grandparents are wonderful!  They have a connection to the past that is irreplaceable!  They help me learn through their stories and their love for me.



Eighth, I am grateful for the eternal connection I have with my husband!  Bubby and I are sealed together not only for time but for all eternity!!!  What a reassurance it is to know that I get to be by his side for always!  What a blessing it is to have him in my life.  He cares for me and shows his love for me always.  I just love him and couldn't ask for anyone better than Bubby!



Well now I am all caught up for the moment!  I hope that I can always be grateful and see the small miracles of my life.  I love this time of life!  The world seem to forget about Thanksgiving but I hope we can all remember!
