We had a wonderful Thanksgiving again this year with our family and friends!! Each Thanksgiving as a family we like to take the time to talk about the things we are thankful for. Last week for our family night lesson we asked each of the girls to tell us one thing that they were thankful for. Here are a few of their responses: Melody said " I am thankful for my family, Alyssa said " I am thankful that we can eat our food and get healthy" , Ella said "I am thankful for books" and Emily said she was "thankful for her baby Olivia"
There is so much in this life that I am thankful for. Here are only a few! I am thankful for the sunshine, it makes me happy! I am thankful everyday for MY life, and for my health and for the good health of my girls. I am thankful for wonderful parents who love me and who taught me what was right, and who took time to play and have fun with our family. I am thankful for a wonderful husband who takes such good care of me and our girls, and who tries hard everyday to do what is right. I am thankful for the 3 best sisters in the WORLD! They are my best friends! Of course I am also grateful everyday to be a mom of the 5 greatest girls ever! They bring so much joy to my life! ( I know, I sound like mom, but its true!) My life has been greatly blessed!!

What are you thankful for??????
you asked...a righteous husband, sleeping babies, music, giggling girls,climbing boys, kisses, my cell phone, hugs, running water, friends who are like family, daughters and wonderful sons-in-law, being a Gramma, flush toilets, washer and dryer, my comfy bed...air travel (yes...I know...)--well, that is to start with anyway. I love you...
ReplyDeleteI love that youtube clip. I remember when Dallin H Oakes gave that talk. He makes you think. The things we are thankful for, fall in place with our priorities. In our home that is the Lord, our children, spouse, family and friends. Always putting the Lord first and all else will fall in place. Thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteI think many of us would say much of the same things (except FIVE girls, since I don't have that many :D) But I;d like to add I'm thankful for YOU and your family. Can you imagine how my life would've been so different without all of you in it?!! I'm so, so grateful.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great birthday, too!
