I have found that if I can find something to be thankful for everyday of my life, my life isrich beyond measure and I am able to cope with the trials that come my way. I have so many things to be thankful for in my life, too many to mention, but here are just a few things which I am most grateful for:
- Being able to live on the earth at this time, our opportunities are limitless.
- This choice land in which I live
- For modern conveniences that advance daily
Most of all for:
- True friends who are there whenever I am in need of a listening ear. They are wonderful examples of strength, kindness and service.
- My eternal companion who loves me in spite of my weaknesses. He willingly sacrifices so hard to provide for his family. He is never complaining and ever serving.
- My children who bless my life in every way imaginable and have provided me with the best title ever, Mother.
- My Savior Jesus Christ who has shown me the way.
This has been such a stressful week (and its only Tuesday), but I wanted to stop and take a moment to wish everyone a joyous Thanksgiving as you gather together with family and friends.
I love reading these posts on thankfulness because it reminds me of all the things I take for granted.
ReplyDeleteHow do I get in touch with the best piano tuner in town?
Call my husband. You can look our number up in the Stake Directory because I don't want to post it here.
ReplyDeleteI understand - I didn't know if he had a work number that he preferred rather than calling at home. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe are truly blessed each day...we just have to be willing to look for those blessings, and sometimes be willing to laugh a little at the things that annoy us, or just don't go the way we planned. This was my first year being apart from so much of my family on Thanksgiving. It made me really think and reflect on how blessed I am as I sat around missing you guys, and my husband. I love you all dearly. And while I really missed you, I am so glad you were able to go and have a good time with some of your family. And I am glad you had a chance to get away from the many stresses you have each day. I hope you had a truly wonderful time. We really did miss you, and we are glad you are back now!
