Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the comforts of home, for most of the week. We had Thanksgiving Dinner with Jeff's family. The usual food, fun, and laughter. It was pleasant, simple, and stress free.

I have been wanting to do this for a couple days. A little moment to myself to reflect upon the many things in my life I am thankful for. This may seem long, but remember this... it could be longer!

I am thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves me. I know that He loves ALL His children. I am thankful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am thankful for The Savior, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice He made. I know that because of this sacrifice we ALL may return to our Father in Heaven, again someday. I am thankful for my calling in the Primary. I love to see the children in our ward every Sunday. I enjoy hearing them sing, and read scriptures, and help with lessons. I enjoy serving them and sharing the love of The Lord with them.

I am thankful for a WONDERFUL husband. He is my best friend, despite my faults and quirks. I LOVE him dearly. I am thankful for how hard he works to provide for our family. I am thankful for his job, and that he has one, in these hard times. I am thankful for the laughter Jeff and the boys bring into our home. I am thankful for our home. I am thankful for the love that fills our home. I am thankful for Ashton, and how pleasing he tries to be. Ashton probably cleans our home more than I do. I am thankful for how hard Ashton works at school, he is very smart! I am thankful for his wonderful teacher, and how patient she is with her class. I am thankful for AJ. He has such an adorable smile, and loves to keep us laughing. I am thankful for the lessons in patience he is teaching me. I am thankful for the mornings that AJ and I have to spend together. I am thankful for AJ's kind teacher. She is so good with AJ, and he is enjoying school so much. I am thankful for Aryk. My heart is so much bigger, and full of love. It is fun to watch him smile, play, eat, and sleep. I am so in love with our little guy!

I am thankful for our extended family. Jeff and I are so lucky to have loving and supportive parents. Our children LOVE their grandparents. They spoil them so well, with gifts and love. We both have wonderful siblings, that we enjoy sharing laughs with. We love them dearly, and pray for them daily.

I am thankful for The Pampered Chef. I REALLY enjoy my kitchen. I am thankful for the opportunity to set goals. I am thankful for the many people I get to meet. I am thankful for the support my family and friends give to me.

I am thankful for my friends. It is so nice to have blogs and stories to share. It is fun to get together, eat food, giggle, complain, and rejoice together. I am grateful for other women and mothers that understands my sorrows and joys.

Thanks for your time in reading this. I hope that you were able to reflect upon the things you are thankful for. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.
