I am grateful...
1. for good books. This book has helped me remember that being content is a way of recognizing and thanking God for his blessings! It is a main stream Christian book, I appreciate so much of what it teaches, but it also, makes me grateful for...
2. a knowledge of the restored Gospel and the Plan of Happiness.
3. for living Prophets and Apostles. LOVE this talk by Neal A. Maxwell on being content. It taught me, in his words, "We can and “ought to be content with the things allotted to us,” being circumstantially content but without being self-satisfied and behaviorally content with ourselves." Again counting blessings brings a content heart.
4. for DeeKen randomly telling me I am beautiful.
5. for day light savings. It has made it so we have time to have scripture study in the morning!
6. Noah's report card that says he hasn't had too many behavioral problems in class. Still stuff to work on, but better!
7. parents who are willing to go to my in laws so we can all be together on Thanksgiving.
8. Josie's dramatic style. I know it will drive me crazy in the future, but I love it now.
9. Micah's excitement to go to the nutcracker with just her grandma and I.
10. John's willingness to fly solo as a parent a lot of this week as I get to indulge in a craft class, the nutcracker, and TOFW! Should be fun, but I will miss him!
