Thankful Thursday: 02/18/09

This week Thankful Thursday is all about...
'the little things'

"Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?"
Proverbs 22: 20-21
I am thankful for sacred words to guide me, to comfort me.

I am thankful to live in a free country where I may worship as I please.
"We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may." (A of F 11)
For positive powerful words from above.
"Now was not this exceeding joy? Behold, this is joy which none receiveth save it be the truly penitent and humble seeker of happiness."
Alma 27:18
For how comforted and strong I feel when I do partake.

I am thankful for my beautiful best friend

Who follows me everywhere, and not just to beg for food or water!
I feel guilty every time I have to move her.
Now I remember why we got her a kitten.



I am so thankful for my sweet mother, for ALL my children-know I love you beyond words, for my life, and my health. For laughter and tears. For people that care, and people to care about. For my God, and my Savior. God bless you today:)
My goal this year is to soak it up, to bloom where I am planted, and enjoy the ride...
