It seems like lately all I do is think about the things I don't have instead of being grateful for what I do have. Isn't that bass-akwards? More, more, more. If I just had this or we could just go do that. Blah, blah, blah! I have SO much to be thankful for and I guess I feel like I need to say it out loud (or in type!!) so it's not just a fleeting thought that I have in my head. There are so many people everywhere, many I know and love, facing discouraging things. Illness, loss of a job, unwell children, losing a home, losing a loved one. I am so very blessed. I have a man I LOVE who treats me like a princess. He not only holds, but honors the priesthood. I have 3 little healthy children who bring such a variety of personalities and gifts to our home. I not only get to live in a free country, I get to live where I love, Morgan. I get the privelage of staying home and soaking in every moment I get to spend with my babies. We have a nice warm house to come home to. And it's not just a house, it's a home...it's safe and it's ours. I have parents who love me. And I have the gospel to cling to. The knowledge that I can be with my family forever keeps me sane and gives me purpose and hope.
I think I am tired...which makes me feel emotional, which right now- makes me reflect on all the great blessings I have in my life. When we think we have it tough, we just have to remember there is someone else who has it alot tougher than we do.
Okay...I'm done. There is my own mini-Thanksgiving!!! And most likely whoever is reading this is a loved one...friend or family. So thank you for being a part of my life!
