Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and I haven't posted at all about all the things that I'm thankful for.  I think I hesitate because there are so many things.  I must right some down so that Heavenly Father knows that I am grateful for all the many things he has given to me and provided for me.  How blessed I am and through all the trials and disappointments I go through life, there are so many good things that I can't deny that make life so wonderful.  Here are a few...
Mckenna-her willingness to always help
Isaac- his intensity over sports
Micah-always smiling and lightening the mood
Elias- keeps life unpredictable
Ella- she is such a joy and I love that she totally needs me still
Seth- for everything
My home
My neighborhood
Good friends who replace my family since they aren't close
All my siblings- the example they are to me and the insight they give me towards life on a daily basis
My parents- who are the greatest example of charity in all things
BYU football and the bonding time it gives us with our children
The beauty of this world
Mountains
Fall in Utah
Our health-we have been so blessed
My children's friends-such great kids in our neighborhood
The savior
For service-opportunity to serve and be served.
I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am and I'm not very good with words, but we have been blessed in so many ways.  I'm glad for the trails that we face because if we turn towards the Lord I know that he is trying to make us better and stronger.  I am grateful for the examples of strong people all around me and my children because they make us better as well.  There is so much good around us that I am glad to step back and focus on that during this time of year.
