Day Thirty: What Matters Most

I'm grateful for my relationship with my

Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Without Them, none of these things or people 

that I am thankful for, would exist.

Ok, so I know I said that these posts were in no

particular order, but I have to say that I saved the best posts for last.

The posts about my family members could have gone on FOREVER!

This post is no different.

So as to not go on forever, here are a couple of songs:

(You'll have to pause the music at the bottom)

My Heavenly Father Loves Me
(Mormon Tabernacle Choir, reason for this video)

Jesus Christ - His Hands

I find that music is one of the

greatest teachers that we have.

I love these two songs.

They truly reflect how I feel.

I love my Heavenly Father, and I'm so thankful

for all that He provides for me.

I know that He continually blesses me.

I love my Savior, Jesus Christ.

He suffered in Gethsemane and died for

me on the cross, and I am forever indebted to Him.

I know that when I suffer or have trials,

He understands and He will always understand.

I know that They live and They are always there for me.

I'm so glad that I took on this challenge.

It truly helped me to look at what matters most,

and let me count my many, many blessings.

It was difficult to narrow it down to just 30 things. 

Throughout this month, there have been many

instances where I would realize how thankful I

 am for simple and silly things like:

paper towels, scissors, a car, light, color...

and this list would prolly never end!

But I'm grateful for all these things and so much more!

I hope you were able to reflect on some

of the things you are grateful for as well.

Thus concludes November! December = tomorrow.

Woah! Where did this year go!?

P.S...in coming attractions:

my 100th post!

oh yes...be very excited.

Day Twenty-Nine: My Dad

I'm grateful for my

Dad

How cute it this!?

Can I just say it is just about impossible

to get a picture of him?

It's worse than finding a good one of Seth! haha

Not only is he the hardest worker I know,

he truly is the hardest worker there ever was or will be!

Sometimes he stays up all day and then works

that night....not an easy thing to do!

In the winter he works all night,

then comes home to feed cows, or he will

harness the team before he leaves to work that day.

There's one word that does NOT and NEVER will

describe my dad and it is lazy

Prolly one of the hardest "switches" I have

to make when my summer ends is when I stop riding

to work with Dad.  For four months we drive

back and forth together from work.

It's kinda hard to just stop.

He is selfless, in that he does everything

for his family. Though, I still think he

would be a hard worker if he didn't

have a family.  I hope my spouse is like him,
in that he is a hard worker, and loves his family.

Love ya Dad.

Day Twenty-Eight: My Mom

I'm grateful for my

Mom

Mom...Best Friend...Same Thing.

She always knows what to say.
She can tell when something is wrong.
You really can't hide much from her.
I tell her EVERYTHING.
I don't think I have a secret from her.
If I do, you know I'll tell her eventually.

She shares silly moments with me.
(sometimes I catch them on camera)
She's the BEST!

My hero.
(from the scary santa claus! ;)

A hard worker.

Completely selfless.
Does everything for us kids.
She brought me into this world,
and (as she says) "can take [me] out if necessary!" ;)
I can't wait to become a mom myself,
because I've got the greatest example!

I love you Mom!
