Thankful November 1-3

I decided to try and write down each day throughout the month of November, everything I am thankful for.  I have so many things to be grateful for and I feel that writing them down, it will help me realize that much more of all my many blessings! 

November 1: Family

My family is the most precious thing that Heavenly Father has blessed me with.  Each day I pray thanking Heavenly Father for blessing me with such a loving and supportive family.  It brings me to tears of how incredibly blessed I am for my family!  It makes me feel selfish in a way, that I take my family for granted too often.  

Dad: One day I will marry someone exactly like you.  You carry all the traits I want in a husband.  Thank you for going out of your way and working so hard for this family.  Thank you for your humor and kindness you give to others.  Thank you for treating mom like a princess and showing me how to love. Thank you for giving me someone I can look up to each day.

Mom: You are the strongest person I know.  I would be so honored to grow into such a beautiful and loving mother like you.  Thank you for your tears you have shed for this family, and thank you for giving up so much and suffering so we (your children) can live a wonderful, happy life.  Thank you for giving me someone I can look up to each day. 

Wesley:  It's crazy how much we are so much a like, it's a compliment for me:)  Thank you for your intelligence, I have always loathed your determination towards anything you want to do or become.  Thank you for your beautiful music you share with the family.  Thank you for giving me someone I can look up to each day. 

Kaylie:  You are everything a sister needs and wants.  I am so grateful that Heavenly Father gave me you as a sister.  Who I am today is a lot because I had you to watch grow up and see your examples, and how they all unfolded into the beautiful, loving, and spiritual women you are today. Thank you for giving me someone I can look up to each day.

Preston: You are such a wonderful brother-in-law!  Thank you for loving Kaylie and treating her with he respect that she deserves.  Thank you for stealing her away from me, I hope you enjoy being with her as much as I do ;) Thank you for working hard and being an example to me. Thank you for giving me someone I can look up to each day.

Little Ezra:  Thank you for being so strong!  I am so grateful that Heavenly Father brought you into this life, and in the hands of my Sister and Preston.  Thank you for showing me how innocent people are and to not judge others. Thank you for showing me how precious people can be in others lives.  Thank you for giving me someone I can look up to each day. 

I love you all so much! 


November 2: Colton :)

Colton, thank you for your friendship and love.  Thank you for accepting my weaknesses and thank you for helping me strengthen them.  Thank you for helping your family and mine when they are in a time of need.  You have been such a great example to me through all your hard work!  Thank you for helping me up when I am down.  Thank you for listening to me when I simply need someone to talk to.   Most of all Colton, thank you for your example in the church and for holding the priesthood, for your testimony, and for being my best friend :) I love you Colton! 


November 3: The Gospel 

My favorite piece I have done

I don't even know how to express how grateful I am for this gospel.  I know with all my heart, that this is the true church.  I am grateful for my faith and for the power of prayer.  I don't know what I would do without prayer.  Each day this gospel has blessed me every step I take.  I am so grateful for my family raising me in this church.  I love this gospel so much and I know I would be weak without it.  Heavenly Father has shown me how to have eternal happiness, and that I will forever be grateful for.
