So much so be thankful for

We decided tonight for FHE to make a "thanks"giving turkey. We had the kids each write some of the things they were thankful for an some feathers and then we made our family turkey. I am always very grateful for this time of year when we take the time to remember all the things that we have to be thankful for. I have a list a mile long and it is amazing how when you stop and take the time to look at all the blessings in your life it is almost overwhelming. I had a lady who I love dearly in our ward who has been fighting cancer, and she spoke to our stake relief society on thankfulness. I remember her saying that she had a night that she couldn't sleep because she was so nauseated and in pain. So she decided to write down all the things that she has been blessed with. She said that you can literally spend an entire night counting your blessings. I appreciated so much her talk it was at a time that I needed to really stop and think about all the blessings I had in my life and realize that I had it really good. I hope that through this Thanksgiving week we will all stop and notice all that we have and give credit where it is owed.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
