Counting Blessings @ Thanksgiving Time

My heart is full of Thanks!
First, for my wonderful eternal companion whom I keep thinking that I couldn't love any more, but cherish greater each passing day! (Thank goodness we have an eternity to get things figured out!) He has always been so unselfish; hard working to take care of us (which hasn't been an easy task!) along with all of the neighbors, employees, and friends in the community; willing to take time with the family even when he was in demanding church leadership or heavily involved with community service...which has always been the case!; an amazing support to me in my opportunities to serve; always encouraging me to learn new things and be involved outside the home; has never criticized me and has always championed all that I do; the list could go on forever! What a great companion the Lord gave me! I love you Quiggy!!!
Second, for our dear wonderful valiant children! We are both most grateful! We cherish you and all of the good things that we learn from you. You truly amaze us! You are so strong; hard-working; great parents; friends to each other; taking good care of your sweethearts; serving where and when the Lord asks you to; productive homemakers and providers; always learning and growing and helping your parents try to keep up; the list could go on and on with you as well!!! For you we pray three times a day because you are at a place where the adversary works the hardest in his efforts to destroy the family! Keep up the good work!!!
Third, of course, are those dear sweet grand children!!! Wow! How blessed we are! They are so beautiful, handsome, intelligent, trusting, obedient, talented....to name just a few things. They truly bring us great joy!!! And are a huge credit to their parents!
Fourth, is a profound gratitude for our parents! They are the reason we are who we are; their sacrifice has been great; and they are an example of enduring well to the end. We honor them!
For these four things I am most grateful! Indeed, I am very thankful to live at this time on the earth when we can communicate daily in so many ways with each other. It's almost as if we are still all under the same roof when we take advantage of the great technological mediums. I am so thankful to live in this great country. Even with all of it's problems, it is still the greatest country on the earth! I am so thankful for the gospel....what a blessing to have the knowledge that it has given us in raising our children, learning and growing personally, and in developing our relationships with each other and those around us.
Yes, I'm am definitely counting my blessings!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! With much love, Mom
