HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Thankful
I have been thinking that I really need to post about what I am thankful for seeing that Thanksgiving is this today. I have been un-employed for the past 3.5 months which has my memory scattered on some days and I forget things more that I'd like to admit.
I am so grateful. SO GRATEFUL All these experiences has given me the opportunity to be served. It has shown me the Gospel of Jesus Christ in action. I've recieved much love and care from so many friends, and family. One of the greatest securities is to know that you can show up amongst friends and family in any condition and know you will be well taken care of. I am excited for Thanksgiving this year.
I am of course thankful for my family, home, life but here are a few things that I may not normally think about but that I am thankful for nonetheless:
I am thankful that I my kids drive me crazy, because that means that I have my sweet kids and that they are independent and happy
I am thankful for my electric bill because that means we have lights and heat.
Dogs. I love dogs, how they like to cuddle, and be a friend. I do like the like things that bark. The love so unconditionally, what a wonderful gift.
I'm grateful for glasses. I can't imagine what it would have been like to not be able to see and live life in a blur.
I'm grateful for my freedoms. Regardless of what people think of our Government we live in a country where we really do have the opportunity to succeed beyond measures of any other country. I'm grateful for government leaders, church leaders, leaders of large and small corporations that work to keep this country moving. What other country is the world is so grate that thousands of people are rushing to enter each day
I'm grateful for the gifts of Tolerance, Patience, Wisdom, Forgiveness, Knowlege, Empathy, Concern, and Peace. I know those around me have been blessed with an overabundance of these things for my benefit.I'm grateful for prayer and the knowledge that I can talk my Heavenly Father and KNOW that he hears my cries and will answer my prayers.
I'm grateful to know that in all my wrong doings he still wants me to succeed. He will meet me where I am in my time of need and give me the tools the endure whatever trials he places before me.
I am grateful for trials and the refiner's fire they bring me through. I am grateful for freedom. I think we are living in a time where freedom is misunderstood, and not appreciated. I am grateful for those that are willing to give everything so that we can live the way we choose.
It is important that we always remember to be grateful for all the blessings our Heavenly Father has given us. Take some time today to think of all that you have been blessed with and share some of those thoughts with friends and family. For myself, I am grateful for so many things. I'm thankful that I found Christ and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints again. I am thankful for all those blessings connected with the Church--the priesthood, temples, scriptures, prophets, and so forth.
I am especially grateful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and all that He has done for us. I'm grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost and for our Heavenly Father and His love and concern for each of us. There are so many blessings associated with the gospel that I cannot name them all.
Through my struggles I am here to day that I am grateful for all that God has given me and I will not wait until my struggles are few to show that gratitude and testify of the Love and Goodness of The Lord.I hope that we will always be a grateful and appreciative people. May you have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving Day!
Give thanks this year for all you have, and be sure, during this holiday season, to help those that are less fortunate then you.
