Thankful!

I've missed a few days but have had "thankful" thoughts rolling through my brain while away from the computer. Here goes:

*church leaders who are inspired
*the Gift and miracle of life
*traditions and how important they are to my children
*6 children who ALL believe in Santa! (LOVE THIS)
*bottled fruit
*the ability to see life through my children's eyes
*that the babies made it all the way through Sacrament meeting w/out going out once! YAH!!!
*a desire to be a better mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, etc.
*huge hugs from my kids every time I open the door to leave somewhere, even if it is just out to the deep freeze. (true statement)
*the chance to sit next to a sister in our ward in Sacrament meeting who hasn't been out to church in years.
*seeing true joy in my husbands face when he greeted this sister in our ward.
*my husband
*my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
*kids acting out the Nativity Sunday afternoon
*the excitement of the first real snow storm
*tithing settlement and the kids excitement to find out how much they each paid
*ward Choir- I'm finding out I really do love to sing
*DJ taking a few minutes to fix Kaleb's guitar and the expression on Kaleb's face when it was all fixed! PRICELESS!
*feeling the spirit in church meetings even with 2 monkey's climbing all over me!
*having my husband home after a long day of church meetings
*the ability to put one foot in front of the other to accomplish things today.
