Gratitude and Blessings in April

30 *After six weeks of Money Mastery class I am so thankful to have the knowledge to use my money wisely and be able to create abundance in my life. Because of this knowledge I will have the money I need so I may have the time I to spend with my family. I know that if we work hard the Lord will bless us with these things.
29 *I am so thankful we attended the ward dinner and auction put on by the YW (for their camp fundraiser). It was so much fun. Three couples, including us, decided to split the cost of a cake and drove the price up to $90. We just sat and laughed and laughed until our guts hurt. I love laughs like that!
28 *I am so thankful for the sunshine we were able to get out and enjoy. I am also thankful for the benefits of exercise on a low energy day.
27 *I am so thankful for the the gospel and the spirit I am able to feel when I go to church. Since I had to work this morning I REALLY missed attending church. I find it very hard to miss church on days like today.
26 *I am thankful for a wonderful date just sitting on the porch talking about life and our dreams and asperations (We couldn't go out due to Braxton being sick).
25 *I am thankful that I was able to sort through all the clothes that Braxton's cousins gave him. I am also SO grateful for all the clothing donations we have received lately. We have been very blessed in that way.
24 *I am so thankful for the good things in this life. Even when I am feeling blue I know that there are things I can turn to for peace and love! ie: scriptures, prayer, service, exercise, good music, good literature, inspiring friends and family, and the list goes on and on.
23 *I am thankful for early rising. I was able to get in a 45 minute walk because of it and scripture study. I was also blessed with understanding when Kent told me of a costly mistake he made. The best blessing of all is that because I woke up Braxton early too I have enjoyed a wonderful long nap time! YEA! I was even able to change a messy diaper without him waking up fully. The day has been good.
22 *I am thankful to be able to get so much done today. I got a good workout in as well as a visiting teaching appointment and much more.
21 *I am thankful for the patience I was able to have during another day where Braxton didn't nap. I am also thankful for the recollection of knowledge of earlier wake up to get kids to nap who are not old enough to be through with naps.
20 *I am very thankful for deeply satisfying laughter (the deep in the gut kind) with my husband.
19 *I am thankful for a fun day at the zoo with my husband, son, sister and her family.
18 *I am thankful for the earthly angels God sends you in your time of need!
17 *I am thankful for a wonderful picnic at the park with my boys. It was also great to get KFC and not have to cook.
16 *I am thankful for my money mastery class. It is nice to have some knowledge about what I need to do to have my future financially secure, especially for retirement.
15 *I am thankful for my strength. I have been adding strength training to my exercise program for about two and a half weeks now and I can already see the growth I am getting.
14 *I am thankful to be having some kind of family night every Monday night. Tonight it was a trip to the fish store,
13 *I am thankful that my house was clean enough to have friends over to play games, and I am thankful to have such good friends.
12 *I am thankful for Kent's willingness to take me shoe shopping.
11 *I am thankful for the email that reminded me to prepare to substitute in Relief Society Sunday.
10 *I am thankful for wonderful friends and sunshine!
9 *I am grateful to be able to give some of my excess to someone who needed it. My cousin's wife was looking for the same stuff I used to help my milk come back when it was drying up and I still had a lot left over that I was able to mail to her. It feels so good to feel rich and be able to give to others.
8 *In honor of my grandmother's birthday today I am thankful for the wonderful memories that I have of my childhood, my grandparents, and all of my family including my extended.
7 *I am thankful for the sunshine (especially since we didn't have any today) and I am thankful for our family home evening to the pet store tonight.
6 *I am very thankful for prayerful prophets. I know that is the reason Elder M. Russell Ballard spoke about mother's today.
5 *I am thankful to be able to buy nice clothing to protect me from the elements.
4 *I am thankful for the blessings of prayer and the temple as well as the love of my Heavenly Father to take care of me in my time of need yesterday.
3 *I am thankful to have the knowledge of modern day prophets and I look forward to hearing from them this weekend!
2 *I am thankful that I was able to accomplish so much today. It makes me feel good when I am productive.
1 *I am thankful for pain pills. If it weren't for them I wouldn't have been able to deal with my day due to the pounding headache I woke up with.
