GRATITUDE

During this week of Thanksgiving I've been thinking a lot about my abundant blessings.
These are just a few of them:
  1. I'm grateful for a husband who works all day and still comes home and prepares dinner while I'm busy working on my projects.

2. I'm thankful for my sons-in-law, my daughters-in-law & for Kirsti who bring so much happiness to my children.

3. I'm grateful for technology which keeps me in touch with my children.

4. I'm blessed by the excitement of five precious grandchildren who like to spend time with their not-so-young grandma.

5. I'm thankful that my second mammogram proved that I was healthy after all.

6. I'm grateful for all the talents that my Mom passed on to me and the satisfaction that they bring.

7. I'm blessed to have a sister who dedicates so much of her time every day to taking care of our sweet mother.

8. I'm grateful for the peace that the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings to my life.

... and I'm truly thankful for all the blessings of life that are too lengthy to list here.
