Grateful

Gratitude

…worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in,

in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily,  

for the many mercies and blessings

which he doth bestow upon you.   Alma 34:38

"Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. 

We like to be around those who are grateful. 

They tend to brighten all around them.
They make others feel better about themselves.

They tend to be more humble, more joyful, more likable."

I am so grateful this cute family of mine.

We will miss Katie and Jeremy this Thanksgiving

but Christmas will be fabulous!

I am grateful for this ongoing group text message we have with our family

and gems like this video that get shared.

I am grateful that we are an eternal family and will be together forever!

I am grateful for these boys who are home this weekend 

and that Mike decided we should eat out this year.  

I have a very blessed life and so much to be grateful for.

I love Thanksgiving and the fact that it is not about anything commercial

and just about Family, being together and remembering all we have.

Gratitude Day #30

I am grateful for the Christmas Season.

We had a fun day getting a tree.

I love the smell of real trees.

 

Gratitude Day # 29

I am grateful for Black Friday.

It was a good day, to clean out the garage.  

We have lived here for almost six months

and we can finally park in the garage.

Gratitue Day # 28

I am grateful for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

It is probably the only holiday that is not commercialized.

It was a nice family day!

The boys went on a bike ride.

 We had our traditional Pumpkin Waffles.

We went to the movie "The Book Thief"

(Mike loves popcorn)

Loved it!

We went to my sister's house for Thanksgiving.

 The table was gorgeous!

 Our little family, we are grateful for Sam!

 Such a fun group.

The food was plentiful!

 After Dinner we played some fun new games.

 My nephew was brave and made pecan pie.

His first attempt.  They were tasty.

 We had plenty of pie options.

 Mike was tired, he slept through pie.

It was a great day... we have so much to be thankful for!

Gratitude Day # 27

I am grateful that my mother taught me how to make a pie.

Her pumpkin pie recipe is the best!

Gratitude Day # 26

I am grateful for Priority Mail.

I was able to send a package to my missionary... Riley.

It is not cheap..$60 for a medium flat rate box.

But Woo Hoo this is the last package I am sending to Riley!

He will be home in February!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving, it is one holiday that has not turned commercial.

I love that the Friday after Thanksgiving is called Family day.

What a blessing that we can have a great long weekend being with family & friends.

We have time to think of the abundance of blessings in our lives!
