The Bug is thankful for his pacifier, his bossy cow,
his favorite book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,
his favorite song The Eensie Weensie Spider,
Kizzy, drawing, and his crazy uncles
The Mr. is thankful for heating, cars that work,
his new job, and tickets to a Jazz game with his best brother friend
The Momma is thankful for the Bug and the Mr. first and foremost,
awesome and supportive family, sleep, exercise,
a warm home, health and happiness,
music, and Christmas!
"Regardless of our circumstances, each of us has much for which to be grateful if we will but pause and contemplate our blessings.
This is a wonderful time to be on earth. While there is much that is wrong in the world today, there are many things that are right and good. There are marriages that make it, parents who love their children and sacrifice for them, friends who care about us and help us, teachers who teach. Our lives are blessed in countless ways.
We can lift ourselves and others as well when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. Someone has said that “gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.”
President Thomas S. Monson
