We are thankful!

I love the Thanksgiving Holiday when we remember what we are thankful for. I believe that this should be a year-round activity and that if people would remember how blessed they truly are that there would be much less suffering and despair and more joy. I polled my family the other night about what they are grateful for and here are their replies.

Wyatt: Polly (Curtis' new puppy), The Book of Mormon
Abby: Rissa
Rissa: Jesus (This was the first thing that popped out of her mouth with no coaching, I have to
say that it warmed my heart. I must be doing something right).
Curtis: Pizza pockets, Scriptures
Jerika: Family, Books
Phil: Health, Family
Nicole: A gym with a play area so I can keep my sanity, appliances to help me in my work, my
great kids who keep me humble, my husband who loves me more every day, a house
that is big enough for my family, yet small enough to force me to get rid of the junk,
my friends and family who help me laugh at life, most of all the gospel that reminds me
of why I am doing all of this and why I should be grateful.

Nik's Favorite Scripture

Remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
Helaman 5:12

Phil's Favorite Scripture

Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.
Alma 48:17
