Gratitude

With Thanksgiving approaching, I've been reflecting on my many blessings.  

Elder Hales recently said, "Gratitude, expressed to our Heavenly Father in prayer for what we have, brings a calming peace,” he said, “a peace which allows us to not canker our souls for what we don’t have. Gratitude brings a peace that helps us overcome the pain of adversity and failure. Gratitude on a daily basis means we express appreciation for what we have now without qualification for what we had in the past or desire in the future.”

I am so grateful for my sweetheart, help mate and husband...Craig.  

This weekend he and his brother, Ryan spent over 16 hours fixing my car.  (thank you Ryan)

I'm so grateful for my children who are my joy and my purpose.

I am grateful for amazing friends both here and throughout my life who understand and support me.

I express appreciation for my parents and Craig's parents.

I'm thankful for not only all the good in my life but also the hardship and challenges of daily life.  My life is not perfect, but I know all experiences are for my good.

My deepest gratitude is for the atoning sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I express my thankfulness for my blessed life.
