What we are thankful for

Tonight for family night we talked about what we are thankful for. It's amazing to think of all of the bounteous blessings the Lord has bestowed us. I'm so greatful to have been born into the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This gospel has brought so much peace, and joy into my life. I'm so blessed to live in this country, with so many freedoms. I'm so blessed to be able to have three healthy beautiful children. I am so grateful to be married to Dan. He is such a good person who truly motivates me to be better each day. I'm so grateful to be able to stay home with our children and be there for them every second of every day. I also am grateful for Dan's job. In the economic times that we live in I'm so grateful that the company Dan works for is still pressing forward, and doing well. These are a few of my thoughts, here's what the children said:

Kate:"I'm grateful for the whole world. I'm grateful for flowers, butterflies, and rainbows. I'm grateful for my family, cousins, friends, toys, and Christmas."

Kirk:"I'm thankful for the Pilgrims and Indians. I'm thankful for my knights, Grandma and Grandpa, Dinosaurs, show and tell pass".

I'm no sure what a show and tell pass is but I think they do it at his preschool.

Dan reported that he was thankful for his family, Christ's atonement, the gospel, sports, and food.

If Benjamin could talk I'm sure that he'd say that he's grateful for his binkie, his bottle, and of course a mom who wakes up at 1:00 am to feed him every night.

This time of year I hope we can all thank God for our many bounteous blessings which have come from his hand. May we all have a wonderful thanksgiving with our friends and family.
