There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed. If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude. ~Robert Brault
This year has been one of many changes, my poor kiddos are so familiar with change that I kind of feel guilty! Ben has been going to school which sent me back to work full time. We moved, yet again (this makes 11 times for us) and the kids started a new school( 4th school for Noah and he is only in the 3rd grade..yikes!). This move has been a little tough on all of us, however, we know that the next move we make will be it for a very long time!! As November rolled around and the thrill of the holiday season set in, I had to do a complete attitude adjustment and really focus on the many, many things that I have been blessed with.
I am so grateful for my 3 beautiful, healthy babies. They love me unconditionally and look passed my flaws! I thank the Lord each day for entrusting me with their little spirits!
A husband who is working so hard to better our situation. His friendship and love mean the most to me in this world.
7 crazy siblings, 13 in-laws, 5 parents who love and accept me for who I am. I would be lost without each and everyone of them.
A healthy mind, body, and spirit.
A roof over our heads, food to eat, clothes to wear.
The Gospel, the knowledge of the Atonement is a comfort each and every day. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church and to have it play such a huge roll in our lives.
I am so very blessed and my heart is full. I have written down this list so I do not let the little things creep in and make me forget what is truly important in this life!
Thank you Kathy for hosting an incredible dinner for all of us! I love all the Johnson's with all of my heart and am so grateful that they are my family!
