A Plethora of Things

 Today, I realize that I have so very many blessings.

While money is not the most important of things, I am SO VERY GRATEFUL for an income.  We have not worked for 18 years, which is a long time to go if we did not have a pension or social security, so that is a HUGE blessing for each of us.

I'm grateful that we are both relatively healthy and mobile.  For that blessing, I give great thanks.

We have a lovely home, three cars, a daughter who lives in our town, good family.  I give thanks for all of these things.

Last night, Jenni told me about her family's good things happening in December.  It was a litany of GOOD NEWS....here's a run down.

Sean, who was recently put in the bishopric, got a raise, a promotion, and will be receiving some back pay from his company when they had to cut salaries because of covid.

Janessa will be getting engaged next week.  We have not met the guy, but Jenni thinks he is fantastic.

Stockton got offered a job with a company from Europe that sells men's beard products.  He got a $30,000. raise and will have insurance benefits.  Morgan passed her dental hygienist exams.

Landon passed his dental exams, and Halsey got a new job.  One that could lead to a career for the future. She has hated her job and applied for over 200 jobs, and was so thrilled to get this job.

And, perhaps BEST of all, BRENT got a job!  It's not a big job; it's not a lot of hours, but it's a JOB!  I'm so very thankful.  I have fasted for this for so many months.


Thank you, dear Heavenly Father, for these many blessings.

A Year of Insights in the Book of Mormon

 2020 was quite a year.

VERY difficult for many people.

But, for those of faith, we were always encouraged by our prophet and apostles and by our reading of the BOOK of Mormon.  

I love that book and as I learn more, I am ever more grateful!

WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN MY LIFE!

 Holy cow!  I haven't written for quite a long time.

That doesn't mean I haven't been thankful.  I have been thankful for so many things.

But today, I want to give thanks for some posts that people have posted over the last few weeks in reference to President Nelson's talk and advice to #givethanks on social media...

Here are some pictures and posts.  I am embarrassed, but grateful for these people who would even thing of  me.

That sweetie, Jessica Stout posted this one day.  Here, I'm trying to show Avery some of her family  history.  Oh, how I love those Stout girls and their parents!

Nathaniel Gee posted this on FB giving thanks for me.  Totally surprised me.

Our bishop's wife, who is absolutely THE greatest, posted this after
Allen and I taught briefly in Sunday School.

Janessa posted this about heroes.


IT looks and sounds braggy, I know, but it is a good reminder that I need to focus and compliment other people as well.

I'm so grateful for the wonderful people in my life.
