I have always tried to recognize God's hand in all the blessings, joys, struggles and challenges in my life! I try not to let a day go by that I don't tell my husband how much I appreciate all the sacrifices he makes, or how hard the kids work at trying to do their best. Don't misunderstand, there are days when all I feel like I do is clean up messes, change diapers and yell! But when the house is all calm and quiet and I lay in bed exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally, I still "get it"! I am truly blessed! I have love in my life, I have an eternal perspective, I have an undeniable faith in Jesus Christ, I find joy in the journey!
I love this quote by Gordon B. Hinckley, “When you walk with gratitude, you do not walk with arrogance and conceit and egotism, you walk with a spirit of thanksgiving that is becoming to you and will bless your lives.”
I hope that those who know me and even those who don't see in me the spirit of thanksgiving, and that I always live my life as one with a grateful heart.
I hope that the outward me, shows the inward me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Here is the family at the local corn maze! I love these photos that really "show" their personalities. Yep, that's Hunter on the ground crying to get up on the top. I'm so mean!
We love the verbal and photographic insight to the real you's :) Love ya!
ReplyDeleteLoved this! So beautiful. I especially loved the quote from Gordon B. Hinckley. I try to live my life like that as well - it's so easy to find things to be thankful for if you look. :) We are blessed. So glad I checked out your blog tonight! :)
