Thankful

So we spent the last two days (thursday and friday) eating yummy food with family and friends!! And while I could write a dialogue about the things I am grateful for I think I will leave it simple this year and just refer to our Thanksgiving Turkey.

Yes, even I am thankful for toys and for Tom & Jerry because those things entertain my kids long enough for me to fold the laundry, wash the dishes, or post on my blog :)

I loved President Monson's general conference talk on gratitude. He mentions that so often it is easier for us (me) to focus on the things that we don't have instead of being grateful for the things that we do have. I have thought about that several times over the last few weeks. He also said "Do we remember to give thanks for the blessings we receive? Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God’s love."

So tonight I am feeling Thankful because I have truly been blessed in so many ways!!
