Grat-i-tude: the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful

'Tis the season of gratitude. I've read many blogs concerning topics of gratitude lately. They have got me thinking and I have been making my own mental list of the things I am grateful for. My list just grows and grows. I really have much to appreciate. I think that every month should be a month of gratitude. The hymn "Count Your Many Blessings" comes to my mind. The Lord has truly blessed my family and me.

I'm grateful for:

my health 

for a healthy and happy son

a serving and kind husband

sisters and sister-in-laws

grandparents

parents

in-laws

aunts and uncles

cousins

nieces and nephews

friends

my ward

my calling

motherhood

sunshine

America and freedom

soldiers

food

clean water

hot showers and baths

the scriptures

a modern day prophet

Jesse's jobs

school

a running car

a warm apartment

my phone

fluffy pillows and down blankets

plants

service

Farr's Holiday Vanilla Ice Cream

colors

jolly ranchers

the Temple

dogs

date nights

the fresh crisp air of the West

books

mountains 

the smell of rain and sage brush

cows

mashed potatoes

Coleman's smile and laugh

Jesse's jokes

chats with my mom

holidays

Most of all, my Savior Jesus Christ

There are more, great and small, but those are just a few.  It feels good to count my blessings and helps me to realize and recognize the Lord's love for me. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
