I AM THANKFUL!

Let's just say yesterday (Sunday) was just not a good day. I saw my husband maybe a total of fifteen minutes, he was 'on call' and had to attend to many church responsibilites yesterday. Poor thing, he came home at 9:00 pm and he was still in his suit and tie. And yesterday my 6 yr. old girl screams were a few decibels higher than normal. Aaron had a pee accident right on my camera bag, I am thankful it didn't get into my camera, just the bag. Anyway, like a good Mormon mother I gathered my children for Family Home Evening, Tyler was so excited to make and present his 'Thanksgiving word search". It was awesome! And then we got started on our Thanksgiving tree, as the kids and I started writing down all the things we are thankful for, my whole attitude changed. We wrote down the things we are thankful for on diecuts of leaves and turkeys and then taped them to a large piece of white butcher paper and hung it on the wall. It was wonderful to see and hear from my children all the things they are thankful for, some of my favorites were, freedom, prop 8 passed, living in the USA, free agency, my skills, love. As a family it was fun to step back and admire our work of art. By the time it was time for bed, I was much happier and thankful for ALL that he has blessed me with. Yes, I am thankful my daughter can sream as loud as she wants, because that means she is alive and healthy! Yes, I am thankful my three year old can go to the bathroom on his own, even though he does have accidents. Yes, I am thankful my husband can work on Sundays and help those who are sick. Yes, I am thankful he is at the church during tithing settlement all Sunday afternoon, becuase of his service we are blessed!!!!!!
