My Attitude of Gratitude pt.11

Tonight I am thankful that we have been blessed with abundance. This though occurred to me tonight during FHE. We went to Dixie Care and Share to help organize the pantry and get boxes ready to go to families for Thanksgiving. I can't imagine how scary it would be to have to choose between paying rent, or buying warm jammies for my son. I hate to think about what it must be like to wonder what the next meal is going to be or if there will even BE a next meal. I would feel so helpless putting Lincoln to bed at night with an empty tummy. I am so thankful for organizations like the Dixie Care and Share that help people in tough situations.

My Attitude of Gratitude pt.10

Since today is Sunday, I find it fitting to write about how thankful I am to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I don't think that I am eloquent enough or a good enough writer to appropriately convey the love I have for the gospel. I am extremely grateful for the role that my religion has played in my life. I am so happy with the life I live every day. I know that without the gospel, my life would be much different. I have tried to make choices based on what Heavenly Father would want me to do and as a result, I love my life. I am so thankful for my brother, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifices he made for me. I love that because of him, I can be with my family forever. These are the basics of my testimony and I want everyone to know that I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus and that I love the gospel.

My Attitude of Gratitude pt.9

Today I want to take some time to express my love and gratitude for my mommy and daddy. They are the best parents in the world. When I was younger, I had no idea of the magnitude of love a parent has for a child. That realization did not come until I had a child of my own. My parents have loved me unconditionally even with all my faults and idiotic mistakes. My dad is so smart and funny. He loves his family so much and would do anything for them. My mom is so beautiful and loving. She wants happiness for all of us kids. It is obvious that her family is on her mind in everything she does. My parents have sacrificed so much for us over the years and their selflessness continues on today. I love my mom and dad so much and I am so grateful to have them in my life.

My Attitude of Gratitude pt.8

Today I am thankful for little moments that warm my heart. Tonight David, Lincoln and I spent some quality time together just hanging out and having fun. We do this very often, but tonight I took the time to just watch and soak it in. I wish I could have captured in a bottle the way I felt as I watched Lincoln laugh and play while David looked adoringly at him. I love my family so much and I love these simple moments that hit me and help me realize how lucky I am.
