Okay so this little girl is my neighbors/cousin daughter. She was playing at my house with James. I ran to her house for something they where just leaving to go to her brothers football games. I said just leave her with me and let her play.
So I got home I told her that she could stay and play with James. Do you wanna know what she said to me. "Oh good cause I told my mom that I could just stay with you i don't like going to the football games." Okay so maybe its not quite as cute as she said it.
Then it got me to thinking. (I know scary thought.) I am so grateful for my life. I made dinner they ate then went outside to play. I was cleaning up dinner and watching out my window. I realized how lucky I am. So i decdided to write a grateful list here it goes.
Dishes, cause it means I paid the water bill and I have running water.
Dinner, cause then that means I have plenty to eat.
Staying at home with my kids, that means that my husband works hard so I can stay home.
My husband, he is the reason I can stay home with my kids.
House, I can stay warm/cool when needed and out of the weather.
most importanly I am grateful for the Gospel. Cause it teaches me that I can be an eternal family and can see my loved ones that have passed on before me again. I love that it teaches service in the gospel to. That way I can use it to show my kids how service works and why it is necessary to do service.
Okay so my list is not that long but I am really grateful for a lot of things. maybe I will start doing a grateful Wednesday blog. Let's face it we all need a little something to help get us over the bump till Fri.

Love it! I've been thinking about that since conference. I don't remember who spoke on the topic of gratitude but it sunk in. You comment about dishes is inspiring since i'm still staring at my dinner dishes and feeling grumpy
