Grateful

I've decided to make a list of all the things I'm grateful for. I think that too often we take for granted the little things in life that make life what it is, a blessing and a miracle. By making this list, I hope to remind myself of all that I really have been blessed with, and maybe you can take a moment to count your blessings too.
I'm grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the blessings of eternity.
I'm grateful for the sunshine and longer days.
I'm grateful for my four wonderful children and my amazing husband.
I'm grateful for our increased health (we're so very blessed in this area).
I'm grateful for my Savior and the atonement He made for me.
I'm grateful for my good friends that tell me it's okay to cry, and that lift me up (even when they don't know they're doing it).
I'm grateful that the Lord blessed to be born into such awesome families.
I'm grateful for my mother and for the strength she is to me. She's the best.
I'm grateful for my freedom and the men and women that have fought for it and continue to.
I'm grateful for this amazing body that has helped to bring 4 children into the world.
I'm grateful for my mind that I can continually learn, grow, and stretch myself to become better.
I'm grateful for my eyes that I can see my children's beautiful faces, for my ears that I can hear their laughter, for my nose that I can smell the sweet scent of my baby, for my hands that I can hold theirs, and for my mouth that I can tell them every day how much I love them.
