I Am Grateful

So lately I have found myself thinking about all the things that I am grateful for, more than I usually do. So I wanted to share them with you.I am so blessed to have a wonderful family. My parents are more than I could ever ask for. They have always been there for me, supporting me in everything that I do. They raised me with the greatest love there is and taught me to love everyone.I am grateful for my brother. He has been an example to me for so long, weather he knows it or not. I know that if I ever need anything that he will do whatever he can to help me.I am so thankful to have a big brother who has been able to be an example for me and help me when I need it. I am thankful for my sisters. Darcee has always been someone that I can talk to, and sometimes that is all that I have needed. TaMerra has been the same way. She has been there for me when I have needed someone to talk to. I have always wanted to be like her. She is smart, kind, strong in the church, and a loving mother and wife. I only hope that when the time comes for me to take on the role as a mother that I can learn a few things from her. I am very thankful that my brother chose a wonderful woman to marry. I could not ask for a better sister in law. She is always fun to talk to. She has been so nice to me. I would not have had my dream wedding without her and I will always be thankful for that. She to is a great mother and wife and I hope that I will be able to learn from her when the time comes. She is so easy to love and talk to. I am grateful for all my nieces and nephews. They are a crazy fun bunch and I would not have it any other way. The love of a child is one of the greatest things in the world and I am lucky enough to be able to share that with 7 (soon to be 8) wonderful kids. Each of them is one of Gods miracles. I am also grateful for my grandparents and inlaws. All of whom have helped make me a better person. I love them. But what I am most grateful for is my loving husband. We have only been married a short time, but I could not ask for anything more. He is my life. He is such a strong man and always encourages me to be myself and do what makes me happy. He is the most understanding and accepting person I know. I am so blessed that he chose me to spend the rest of eternity with. I love him with all my heart. I also want to say that I am grateful for all of my extended family, and that I am able to be so close to them. A lot of people are not very close with their families. I am lucky to be able to have that. And I am grateful that I get to be with them all forever, and that I get to see the ones that have past on again.
There are a lot of small things that I am grateful for, but since this is long enough and most of you have stopped reading already, I will only name a few. I am grateful for my sight, my smell, my ability to walk and talk. There are so many that live without these things. I feel so blessed that I have them. I am grateful for the changes in weather and that we get to experience so much. I love walking outside and looking up at the sky. I am grateful for my job. I work with a lot of great people and I am so happy that I get to me a part of this work family. I am grateful for the apartment that we live in and that we are able to have a roof over our heads and food to eat. We are so blessed. More than we realize. I am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Without it, I would not be where I am today. I know that the church and the gospel bring me happiness and blessings beyond my comprehension. I love all of my friends and I will always treasure you. I am blessed to have known and befriended so many wonderful people. I love you all.I encourage all of you who read this to post the things that you are grateful for and let others know of the blessings you have.
