GRATEFUL!

I'm so GRATEFUL FOR MY MANY BLESSINGS that the Lord had blessed me with because without him, I wouldn't have what I have! It sometimes takes me aback when I realize of the one important decision I made at 17, how it truly had changed my life forever. I'm eternally grateful for those missionaries, who taught me the truth that I have been searching for so long. And because of that truth, my life is completely different and I'm so grateful for that.

I'm grateful for MY HUSBAND, who have taught me what love between a man and woman truly is.He's my best friend and I couldn't imagine life without him. I'm also grateful for the great father he is to our children. I thank my Heavenly Father every night for bringing him into my life and being my husband.

I'm eternally grateful in BEING A MOTHER! I've been blessed with three beautiful children, who are my heart. They helped me rediscovered the wonders the world has to offers us and the beauty of a smile, hug and a kiss.

I'm grateful for THE TEMPLE and the covenants I made. This is the only place in the world that I can truly be at peace and away from the world and because of those covenants I have made, I can have an "Eternal Family" with my husband and children.

I'm grateful for MY MOM! She was my first friend, my hero, my strength and example. She taught me unconditional love and the love of a mother. She's a great grandmother too and I'm grateful that Heavenly Father chose her for my mother.

I'm grateful for SISTERS! I'm the oldest and helped raise most of them and I'm very proud of what beautiful and special women they have become. I can always depend on them, no matter what!

 

I'm grateful for FRIENDS! I've been truly lucky to have good friends that I can always relied on. These are friends that I can be truly myself. I have great friends, that it doesn't matter the distance we are separated by and we many not see each other often but I always know they're only a phone call away. And when we do meet, the years just melt away. I also have friends that I can rely on to get out and have a blast on "Girl's Night Out"! I been blessed with good friends.

I'm grateful for HULA! This is the one thing I do just for myself and I'm good at it. I'm with a wonderful Troupe that have become my hula family... these are wonderful ladies that we meet every week to sweat out and show our appreciation for the Hawaiian culture.

 

I'm grateful for being a VISITING TEACHER! Being a visiting teacher has taught me so much about service and compassion. This sweet sister has taught me so much and I'm grateful that I'm her teacher and friend.

I'm eternally grateful for JESUS CHRIST and his atonement. He paved the way, so I can return one day back to my Heavenly Father.
