Gratitude!

Tonight for family home evening we each expressed 5 things that we were grateful for. It was really interesting and touching to hear what each of us said and to be reminded of all that we have to be grateful for. Some of the things that were said were: family, brothers and sisters, mom and dad, prayer, prophets, our bodies, priesthood and that daddy has the priesthood, temples and eternal life, the earth and it's beauty, grandma, treats, our home, clothes, money, spirit, furniture, food, shelter. Each of the kids took time to think of things and I was amazed at the depth of some of their responses. In this season of my life I often feel scattered, too busy, tired, flustered, bothered, crazy.......but on the flip side I know it's just a season and it was sure nice to remind myself that I have so much to be grateful for!
