GRATITUDE

is filled within my heart for the blessings in my life!

I am so grateful for the family that is in my life

HOW I LOVE EACH OF THEM!

We have been so blessed to have our mother with us for 92 years!

She is an "elect lady" and an example to our family!

Another blessing was to have Elder Zinn return home from serving

an HONORABLE MISSION!

Kay is another blessing and an example of strength

and the Lord protecting us!!

My sister Connie & her family

learning how fragile life really is and learning

to value each moment we are given.

For Grant & Katie

for their wedding which will happen in just week...

the opportunity for our family to gather together

to support them in this great experience

for Katie joining our family circle!

A new grandchild to join our family circle

We LOVE you Owen and so grateful

YOU are a part of our family circle!

for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.

For this beautiful world in which we live!

I have many blessings to reflect upon this Thanksgiving season! There is so much more that I could elaborate upon.....but I have to get busy and prepare for part of my family being together for this Thanksgiving!! I am SO EXCITED!!

In closing I would like to share these thoughts from President Monson:

Despite the changes which come into our lives and with gratitude in our hearts, may we fill our days—as much as we can—with those things which matter most. May we cherish those we hold dear and express our love to them in word and in deed.

I pray that all of us will reflect gratitude for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His glorious gospel provides answers to life’s greatest questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where does my spirit go when I die?

He taught us how to pray. He taught us how to serve. He taught us how to live. His life is a legacy of love.

EIGHT PLUS is enough to FILL MY HEART WITH LOVE!

Happy Thanksgiving dear family and friends!
