At church there is an older lady (probably in her 80's) who walks with the help of a walker. Every Sunday she comes prepared with dum dums to hand out to little children. Gracie loves her and looks for her every Sunday after nursery. A few weeks ago she stood and bore her testimony and said something like, "When you get to be my age you just appreciate everything so much and thank God for every day and every moment that you have." As she said that I thought, "NO. That's not just an automatic thing that happens when you turn a certain age, it is a decision and something that you can decide to start at any time in life."
That said, here is what I am most thankful for (in no particular order):
1)Justin
2) Gracie
3) Baby #2
4) The gospel
5)My family
6) Justin's family
7) A great ward
8) A nice place to live
9)Good health
10) An education
11)Great friends
12) Utah
I could obviously go on, but these are the main things that I've been thinking about. Keep your eyes open for more posts about our Thanksgiving weekend.
