Gratitude

I have some friends on facebook that have been writing what they are grateful for everyday. I really like it, but didn't ever start it myself. I just saw on my blog that my sister has been doing the same thing for her family on her blog.

I know it's the middle of the month already, pretty much, but I figure it's never too late to be grateful, and maybe I can just turn it into some Christmas thing after Thanksgiving and make up for the lost time. haha. :)

So here we go:
Baby: (I know, he's too little to tell me what he's grateful for, so I'll just put something that made him extra happy each day, because if it makes him happy, I'm sure he's grateful for it.) :) Our slide.
Hike:  choo-choo trains
Di: my wonderful hubby is so helpful and willing to give me a break when I need it.
Hubby: grateful that we have a place to live and aren't on the street.

"Mercies and blessings come in different forms--sometimes as hard things. Yet the Lord said, 'Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things' (D&C 59:7). All things means just that: good things, difficult things--not just some things. He has commanded us to be grateful because He knows being grateful will make us happy. This is another evidence of His love."
