As I look back on our week of Thanksgiving, I am extremely grateful for all that Heavenly Father has given to us. This year we remained in Rexburg so that we could work on our basement. We were able to prepare the trim to be painted and also paint the trim with primer. We are one step closer:)
One thanksgiving tradition in our family is to to circle the table before the feast and mention something we are thankful for. It is always interesting to hear what is on the minds of family members. Matthew was thankful for soccer. Spencer chose family and friends. Catherine spoke of family scripture study in the morning. Sarah chose modern medicine. Kirsten was grateful for new friendships formed this year. Camille mentioned Jonathan and family. (A young man she brought along.) Jonathan reciprocated and said Camille and also physical health. I chose the very generous donations and service which have been shared with our family over this past year especially to help with the reconstruction of our basement. Dave also spoke of the same. We have been shown how much people love and care for others in need and have been motivated to follow the example given and seek for ways we can help others.
I'll end with a favorite quote, "gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others."
