Gratitude

So, I decided that for the month of November, I'm going to blog every day about something that I am thankful for. That way, I can look at the blessings that I have been given and focus on the positive in my life. I begin with a disclaimer that these are not in any particular order nor does the order have anything to do with how important they are to me. I just want to do things that I'm grateful for.......
So, with that said,


#1 The best parents in the whole wide world (no, I am NOT biased)


I am blessed to have the amazing parents that I have. Never were there better people. They love unconditionally and welcome others with open arms. They are supportive and loving and have been the best examples to me of how I want to become and also how I want my marriage to be. Anyone that is blessed to know my parents understands to some extent what I mean.

I was blessed to have my Dad here for 31 years of my life and I will miss him terribly until I see him again. He taught me how to work, love and so many other things. My Mom continues to teach me about love, friendship, compassion and so many other things. I can't even begin to put into words how amazing my parents are.

And like the 2000 stripling warriors, I have never doubted my parents knew it. My testimony started because of theirs and continues to grow. I am so grateful for their wonderful examples to me and everyone else that has been blessed to know them or who will get to know them.

What a great way to start off the month. I, like you, am very thankful for the parents that I have. Even though Dad is gone he will continue to be an example for the rest of my life. I am thankful for Mom, that I will continue to learn from her and grow closer to her. We were blessed with great parents as well as a great family! Love you sis!
