Thankful for...

November seems to be the perfect month to share what we are grateful for!  We should probably be better at expressing our gratitude every day not just in November.  But since it is already November....why not start sharing!  I am going to try to share what we are grateful for all month along.  We have all been saying what we are thankful after our family prayer at night.  And since I am already behind...  here is some of our gratitude list for this week:

- I am eternally grateful for my wonderful little family.  I am thankful for a husband who loves us.  I am grateful he is such a hard worker.  I am grateful that he sees past my imperfections.  I am grateful that he listens.  I am grateful he loves his kids so much.
- I am very blessed with three wonderful children who are healthy and for the most part happy.  I am grateful for the joy they bring in my life.  I cannot imagine not having them.  I am grateful for Oaklie and how she has such a strong testimony and she shares it every fast Sunday.  I am grateful for the hugs and kisses my little McCall gives.  I am grateful for the smiles and loves Cash shares with us.
- I am blessed and grateful to have wonderful parents and in-laws who care and love me and my family.  They'd give you the shirt off their back if you needed.  They always seem to put their kids and their families first.  I am blessed to have a wonderful brother and sister-in-law and beautiful neices and nephew in my life.  I also have wonderful brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws.  We are truly blessed and grateful for the awesome immediate families we have.  They probably don't know how much help they have given us and we love them all for it.
- I am eternally grateful for my Heavenly Father who knows me and loves me.  I am thankful that he is so merciful and forgiving.   I am so grateful for the gospel in our lives.  I am extremely thankful for the Savior Jesus Christ and for his wonderful blessing of the atonement that he has given to us.  I am thankful for the example he is in my life.
- I am thankful for our home.   And I am thankful that it is not just a house but it is a home.  It is a place that we feel loved and cared for.  It is a place that provides us protection and shelter.  It is a place that we feel safe in.
