I lay in bed thinking and thinking of the many things I have been Thankful for some of which included:
*Bryan scott and family are moving in closer to us
*having a wonderful husband
*having wonderful kids
* a world wide church
* the gospel teachings
* service
* second chances
*technology
*music
* performances (especially of grandkids) even if it is only in my own front room
*un-expected letters--either snail mail, or email or Cards
*a ten cent surprise
*letters /pictures from a grandchild
*my kids and their spouses
*my grand kids
*new experiences
* a home and the comforts of home
there are two songs I really like...one I only know the chorus to...it from part of a song in the Forgotten Christmas Carols (by Michael McClain)_
it goes..."EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR EVERYTHING I WISHED FOR COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO WHAT I'VE GIVEN..." that is all I can remember and I find myself singing this little ditty while I work....in my case it is soooooo very true.. The Lord has been generous with me and given me more that I could have wished (or prayed ) for....my ideas haven't held a candle to what the Lord has blessed me with.
the second song was--a little thanksgiving song that our folks sung ended with the phrase
"we could've been quite happy --had we only tried" --I am going to "try" to be "quite happy" with all that I have right before me.
