This time of year, it is nice to forget about our troubles, think of others, and reflect on what we are thankful for. With troubled times, sometimes it is easy to be pulled down by all the negativity around us. Many things in our lives we take for granted, that millions of people around the world live without their entire lives. This year one of the members of our Primary Presidency challenged each of our children to come up with 25 things they are thankful for, so here is my list of 25:
1. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
2. My Husband and kids
3. Roof over my head
4. Clothes
5. 3 meals a day (or more, usually more)
6. For a car and the ability to put gas in it
7. Education
8. Our jobs to provide for our family
9. My family,parents, siblings and their spouses, and extended family
10. Spencers family, parents and siblings, nieces and nephews
11. Great friendships
12. My Grandparents and their great example to me.
13. Kind and loving neighbors
14. Modern medicine
15. The internet and how it allows us to keep in touch with people all over the world
16. Music and the ability to hear it.
17. Physical body that allows me to do almost anything I want.
18. That Spencer's knee is healing.
19. Our troops and the sacrifices their families and they make for our country
20. Warm, running water, can you image no more hot showers? EEk!
21. For a temple so close to my home.
22. A ward that is so organized and prepared, for anything that may happen.
23. That I can read and write.
24. For my primary class this year and all that they taught me.
25. To spend Thanksgiving with my family this year!
