"What will you and I give for Christmas this year? Let us in our lives give to our Lord and Savior the gift of gratitude by living His teachings and following in His footsteps. It was said of Him that He 'went about doing good.' As we do likewise, the Christmas spirit will be ours."-Thomas S. Monson
Another great video from Mormon Messages just in time for our Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy watching, and don't forget to turn music player off.
Affordable health insurance. It provides peace of mind and access to good medical care. A true blessing.
For love. It's the best. I love that I have someone that loves me so much. I don't know what I'd do without her.
I am grateful that this past week or so that I've been actively thinking of things to be thankful for. This whole challenge has reminded me to constantly be thinking of the good that is happening rather than the bad, and to be grateful for it.
For lazy sundays. It's nice to wind down at the end of the week and get refreshed for the next one.
I'm grateful for my knowledge that my Heavenly Father exists and that He knows who I am. I know that He hears me when I pray and that he listens. I know that He loves me and while I don't fully understand His timeline, I'm well aware that He's got one and that I fit into it somewhere.
What i'm grateful for today
- That my headache I had for 2 days straight finally went away.
-For Celeste helping me take care of Bryce today.
- A dependable Car - I'm so glad that we have cars that we dont have to worry about.
-Navajo Tacos that is what we had for dinner and that everyone enjoyed.
-Beautiful Sunsets like tonite.
I have been meaning to fill up the tank! I just made it to the gas station today coasting in On FUMES!
I'm grateful for my knowledge of who I am, where I came from & where I am going...it makes life pretty darn simple.
I'm grateful for 3 healthy kiddos that are fun and active.
Weekends
Family just to spend time together like tonight we got together and had a movie night and ate pizza. Kids had a blast.
Laughing so hard that your ribs start hurting. Cheap entertainment is the best just sit back and watch the kiddos go at it.
Mom called me up yesterday and she challenged me to record 5 things that i am grateful for this week. No stips, she said that they can be anything at all, as long as I feel some gratitude for them. People, Places, Things, Events in my life. So i will just take 5 mins daily to think how good I've really got it and try not to focus on all the things that are potentiall negative.
Here is my Nov. 12
I am grateful for Mom, she has inspired me to be a better person she truly loves us kids and knows how to appreciate the little moments with us.
I'm grateful for my home. I have realized more and more lately that it is not the home of my dreams, but the truth is that it does the job for our growing family. I'm grateful for the warmth, comfort and the fact that we have a little piece of heaven that we can come to.
The Internet. I'm grateful for it for several reasons! Today, while I was cooking, Sam kept asking me to help with his math. I can come up with stuff off the top of my head, but it's so much easier to click and search how to work his problems.
DVR- Lame but true. Is it just me or am i crazy to sit down after a long day to your fave show with a treat? hmm...headed there.
My Partner in this company of Life. Belin my CEO is the most dedicated and my example which I should dedicate a whole post for just her.
That felt really.....
We had such a wonderful week. We had Nana Helen, Jenny, little Easton down from Utah for a week. While they were here we spent a lot of time just catching up due to the rain we didnt get to get out much. It sure was nice to spend time with Family little B just loved being able to share the day with his Cousin Easton. I believe that they finally became real buds hopefully they didnt beat up each other too bad. We love you guys and miss you. Here are just a few pics from our week.
Hey look at me MOM
I really want one of these for Christmas
Enjoing a good book.
"Our spiritual strengths are like batteries; they need to be charged and frequently recharged.”-Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
I just LOVE Fall time! The weather here has been perfect and the leaves are just about starting to change. I love it! This is one of my most favorite times of the year. Maybe because the kids are back in school or is it that college football is on, maybe its because I LOVE Halloween, who knows. But I have very fond memories of Fall time growing up. Here are a few things that I love about Fall:
the air is so crisp and refreshing and has a slight chill to it in the morning, but then it warms up as the day goes on.
there are yummy apples to be had! There is nothing like a good, Granny Smith apple! Growing up we always had lots of yummy Granny Smith apples and caramel.
Halloween candy is everywhere and everyone is planning their Halloween costumes. Soup for dinner sounds sooo yummy! I love to come home from work when its a little chilly outside and have a nice yummy bowl of soup! Mmmmm...My mom makes the best potatoe soup you have ever had. I could really go for a bowl of it right now. She will be coming down this weekend so we will just have to make a big pot.
We are so blessed to have Apostles and a Prophet to have in our lives!! I cant wait for CONFERENCE (dont forget to turn music off prior to playing video).
