Lights - by Lucy

I've watching some Dickens' movies;  their rooms are dark, they see by candle light and it's always dark in their homes.

and I realize that LIGHTS are such a blessing.....

I am very grateful.

Healthy Food

So many people do not have access to food that is good for a person.

But, while we didn't grow a garden this year, so we don't have food from a garden,

we do have plenty of good food that is available year round.

And, I am grateful.

Family

Donna called today; it was so fun to talk with her....

She and Bill are on a mission in Virginia.

So, we don't get to talk very often.

I love Allen's family.

And, I love mine.

Yes, I'm grateful for family!

Mornings

Sometimes I get bad news at night;

it overpowers me and puts me in a funk.

I mope and grope for reasons, answers, etc.

But, then Morning comes

And, MOST of the time...

I can see more clearly...

I have a fresher perspective.

Mornings are a very fresh start -

And, I am grateful.

Living in St George

I love St George....

Sure, it's VERY HOT in the summers.  I do not like that.

But, I can stay inside; turn up the AC, and be fine.

It's small enough, big enough, LDS enough,

In fact, it's just perfect for me!

And, I am grateful!
