Weekend Thanks

So I'm gonna have to cheat a little because yesterday I was so busy getting ready for TODAY and trying to fight off the tail end of this sick bug I've got that I was being cranky and decided I wasn't thankful for anything! bah humbug! It's days like that I really need to remember my blessings and count them up!

I do have to say I was very grateful for number #13

#13 I'm grateful for WARM APPLE CIDER!

In the midst of planning and baking and mixing and washing and cleaning and baby feeding, I had a few cups of apple cider to keep my cough at bay and the irresistible feeling of fall warmed my body and heart. Delicious!

Today I have a lot to be thankful for. But mostly...

#14 I'm thankful for BLESSINGS!

Though I'm thankful for all the blessings I receive, today I'm extra thankful for Priesthood Blessings. Avery had her first blessing today, which was very special, but it made me think about the blessings I've had over the years from my own dad. I always took for granted our start of the year Father's blessings not realizing what a big deal it is to them as well. It wasn't until I saw Brian become a nervous ball all weekend hoping he would say the right things, making sure he could be inspired by the Spirit that I saw the love fathers have for their daughters. So thanks Pops for the blessings you've given me over the years. I sure love you!
