Thankful

Today I feel like I need to state some things that I am thankful for (in this Thanksgiving season and all)

Salt Lake City Temple, Fall 2012

I am thankful for this BEAUTIFUL fall season that we have.. This year I believe it has been particularly beautiful all of the trees and the lingering colors.  (Maybe because of the lack of beauty we had last year)

I am thankful for the hand that never fails to be there for me to hold.

I am thankfulfor the meals we have on our table for breakfast lunch and dinner.

I am thankful for the country that we live in,  for the freedom, safety, progression and happiness that we have here.

I am thankful for the healthy bodies and minds that my husband and I have, and for every single day that the Lord gives us to better ourselves. 

I am thankful for technology and for the opportunity it gives me to talk to my husband WHENEVER I want.

I am thankful for the amazing examples I have in my life; whether they be from my side of the family or my husbands.  (and especially my husband himself)

I am thankful for the warm embrace with a towell I get from my husband right when I get out of the shower, almost every time!

I am thankful for those perfect kisses all day everyday that make me forget about everything in the world.

I am especially thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ;  I feel so blessed to have the knowledge that I have of our Lord and Savior, for the atonement that was given to us and for the opportunity we have to be forgiven for mistakes in our lives.  I am so thankful for the knowledge that I have of prayer and for the opportunity that I have to be able to speak to heavenly father and feel his comfort in any time in my life.  I am so thankful for the Book of Mormon and for the real blessings that come from reading it,  and for the testament of Jesus Christ that it gives.  I am so thankful for my incredible husband, for the sweet spirit that he has, for the love of the gospel that I know he has and that I see so often.  I am so thankful for the opportunity that I have to sit next to my husband and be spiritually edified every sunday, I am so thankful for the living prophet we have on this earth, who converses with the Lord on our behalf and who receives inspired revelations to make our lives (and the world) so much better. 

Salt Lake City Temple, 2012 With My Love

The last thing that I have been so incredibly thankful for since I have been married is to go to the house of the Lord with my handsome Husband and to feel of the spirit, in those beautiful buildings, serve the Lord and serve those who have passed on before us.  Thank you Elias for being continually worthy, and helping me to be continually worthy to enter the house of the Lord, and also for upholding your priesthood.  You are my Prince, I am SO thankful for you, I love you!
