Thankful

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Think about it. There's no commercialization, no theme songs, no crazy shopping. There's just family, friends, and good food. I read somewhere that it is the most "pure" holiday because of that. I would have to agree. This year my family spent Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family. We had a fabulous time together, as always.

This year in Seminary, my teacher challenged us to write a list of everything we're thankful for. We were to keep a sheet of paper with us at all times, and whenever we thought of something we were grateful for, we were to right it down, then and there. I took this challenge to heart and came up with a pretty crazy list. It continues on to the back, and I wish I could say I filled up more than one paper, but some days I forgot to carry my list with me, and therefore didn't write as much down. Anywho, I'm really grateful for this list because it helped me realize just how blessed I am. There is so much my Father in Heaven has given me, and there's no way I will ever be able to repay him. He has spoiled me to a huge extent. I could go on and on about what I'm grateful for, but I figured if you really want to know, you can just read my list! :)

My Seminary teacher also showed a few Mormon Messages on being thankful. Enjoy!

Ok. I love you. That is such a good idea. I think I'm going to do it!

And I, being the creeper that I am, clicked and zoomed in and read a few. My favorites: Underwear, Lizzie Music, Jane's taste in music ha
