30 Days of Thanksgiving

A few people started their first post yesterday for 30 things they were thankful for during this month of Thanksgiving and at first I didn't want to do it because it was only for Facebook...and then I decided, why not blog it? So here we go...30 things we are thankful for as a family:

1. We're thankful for our Father in Heaven and for His Son, Jesus Christ, who made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. What a blessing it is to have the opportunity to be on this earth and to strive as we might, to be like Him and to know that if we choose the right and keep the covenants we have made...we can return to be with Him once more.

2. Eternal families. Ü
3. We're thankful that Heavenly Father gave us food and drinks and flowers. Ü -Madysen
4. Good health to support my family...to take care of them and provide for their needs. -Fred Ü

5. I'm thankful for my mommy and daddy for taking care of me. -Sariah Ü

6. Thankful for the gospel and the way it impacts our lives...the love, peace, strength and organization it brings to our family -Mr. & Mrs. Frost

7. So thankful for Temples. For the sacred work that is done within it's walls and for the ultimate feeling of peace I feel when I'm there.
8. For two little sweethearts who bring us laughter, joy, giggles, flowers, music and love every single day. -Daddy & Mommy
