My Blessings

Every fast Sunday, our Bishop asks us to take some time and count our blessings. Before I get ready for Church, I thought I would jot down a few things I'm thankful for. There is no way I could ever write them all done at one time because I feel my life has been very blessed. So here a just a couple:

1. My family, Jason, Katelyn, and Jacob, of course. I constantly wonder what I did to deserve such wonderful people in my life.
2. My testimony. Even though my practices go in waves like the Lamanites, I have never doubted the gospel and the truthfulness of it's teachings. I know I am the happiest, when I am living my life accordingly.
3. My Savior, for his atonement. So that I can repent when I make my mistakes and know that I can be forgiven through his sacrifice for me.
4. My health. I am so thankful that I can get up each day and play with my kids and be active with them.
5. For my home. I love being in my apartment. We live a very comfortable life and haven't had to want for much (except for maybe the unnecessary things ;))
6. For both mine and Jason's education. I realize this is a blessing, that this opportunity is not available to everyone who desires it. I am so thankful for the life and stability that Jason's job with provide for us when he's done.
7. For mine and Jason's parents. For their example of how to do a good job of raising kids and how to live a righteous life.
8. For my sisters who are my best friends. I know I can count on them to be there for me at anytime.

I know my Heavenly Father has blessed me greatly in my life, and that I need to work on showing a greater appreciation through my actions to Him.

I would like to encourage you to reflect on your blessings.

Have a good Sunday!
