Thanksgiving

The holdiays are almost here. It's exciting to think about. Thanksgiving is this week, and then Christmas. As Thanksgiving is approaching it makes me think of what I am grateful for. So many people in this world don't have anything yet I have a home to keep me warm, food to eat to nourish my body, vehicles that run and can take me places. On top of all of that, the thing I am most grateful for is the family I have to love, and that they can love me in return.

Family is so important. I have a wonderful husband that works hard and does the best he can to provide for our family, and we have the kids that come and see us as much as occasion permits. I have a lot to be thankful for. What wonderful gifts my Heavenly Father has given me and blessed me with. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

People I AmThankful For

DAD

Thinking about dad today. I don't know why. He is just on my mind.  I miss him so much. I remember him going to get wood out of the wood shed and starting a fire on days like today. It felt so nice to feel the heat from that fire, but more than that it was relaxing watching that fire dance around in that fire place as it burned and we would have to put more wood on the fire again. Dad would sit in his recliner right by the fireplace and read a Louis Lamour book.

I see my Dad's picture on the bookcase everyday. It just makes me feel as if he is their with me. The holidays are always rough, but I always want to feel my Dad around me. I am always going to have found memories of my Dad. I love my Dad. Even though he is not with me anymore in this life; I still love him.

I Love You Dad! :)

Me and My Dad

Now that Halloween is over it is time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and all the things we are Thankful for. I've discovered how thankful I am for my kids. When you don't get to see them that often it makes life that much more sweeter when you do get to see your kids. I am also very thankful for a wonderful husband who goes to a job that he doesn't like all that much, but he does it because it will help our family the most. I am thankful I have a degree in teaching so that when I substitute teach I can get paid a teachers salary and not a  non-certified salary. I am so thankful that our vehicles are running and we have a place to live. That is HUGE.

I guess if you sit back and think about your life you can find many things to be thankful for. I guess the ultimate thing to be thankful for is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Well, I guess thankfulness is just something to think about this time of year. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Halloween is over now, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner
