Thankful

So many things this time of year to be thankful for

1: My Family

I am very blessed to have 3 beautiful and healthy children, and amazing husband that stands by me through everything and is my rock..... My Mom and Dad who would do anything for us and are amazing examples to me and my family...... In-laws couldn't ask for better ones they are wonderful..... 4 amazing, wonderful and understanding sisters that are my best friends a brother who I look up too and love to be around..... Great sister and brother in-laws that add so much to our families.....

2: My Home

I am so blessed to have a wonderful home, amazing neighbors, and friends.... It was a very hard move for me to South Jordan from St. George but we are so blessed and it was definitely the right decision for us.... I have met so many people and have made great friendships that I thought was never possible.....

3: Trials

I have come to realize that trials are there to make us grow stronger..... I have learned thru some trials that even though we think life isn't fair at times or question and wonder why things happen as they do it isn't very hard to find someone else that is struggling far worse....

Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. And when the virtue of charity becomes implanted in your heart, you are never the same again. Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.
