Thankful



There are so many things that my family and I are Thankful for this year. The biggest one we are Thankful for would have to be that Matt is here with us this year. Last Thanksgiving was absolutely one of the worst Thanksgivings in my memory. Matt was half way across the world, and I was in Texas by myself with no family nearby with an extremely painful, sprained back. Yet, despite those trying times, I will never forget that Thanksgiving. I learned so much about the meaning of family, humility, and blessings. My family was blessed with Guardian angels while Matt was away...and I first came to realize that, during that hard Thanksgiving day. So this year I am Thankful for Matt being home, Guardian angels that are watching over my friends homes while their dear husbands are far away serving, having a safe shelter over my head, and most importantly I am Thankful for the Lord's plan. Without his grace and Atonement we would not have any of these wonderful blessings. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope it is a ...if not joyful, then reflective Holiday for you all.
