Blessings...

Thanksgiving. I looked it up in the dictionary and this is the definition:the act of giving thanks; a prayer expressing gratitude; a public acknowledgment or celebration of divine goodness.
I have much to "give thanks" for. If I really think about all that I have been blessed with, I am in awe of the multitude of blessings. I am so very grateful for my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I know that without them, I would not be here. I would not have the blessings I have. My loving husband, my sweet children, my wonderful parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles,stepsiblings,nieces and nephew, cousins, my inlaws and life saving friends. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and I feel gratitude for being a member of the LDS church. I have good health and my kids are healthy. I have a warm home and a car that makes my life easier. My husband has a job for which I am very grateful for. We are able to have fun together and travel and for that I am grateful. But its the little things I find myself having much humbleness for- my children's laughter, their smiles and innocence. I love that my husband calls me to tell me good night when he is working night shift. I cherish phone conversations with my dad and his constant charity, I feel blessed to have a mom who understands how hard it can be to be a mother and listens to my challenges, I adore my stepmom who makes me laugh, I love my sister who lets me call and bug her for recipes, my brother that reminds me how much I have to be grateful for, my grandma Kim who will drop anything to come and help me with something, my grandfather who shows me how strong a person can be, my stepdad for being an example of compassion, for my sweet friends Monique, Diana,Roxanna, Melissa, Katie, Lisa, Rachel B.,Stephanie,Lisa C., Michelle, Lyndsie, and my ward family for being life savers.
And to this I must tell you that I see DIVINE GOODNESS in so many things in my life. Thus I am grateful and feel very BLESSED.
