The WOW! of Nature!

 

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for this incredible beautiful world.  

Pictures just do not do it justice.  It is spectacular and makes my heart sing!

Such a Great Neighbor!

 I was just walking into church one Sunday.

Peggy Hrabar greeted me and said, "Loni, I have something for you."  She proceeded to pull out of her purse a really COOL home-made mask.  It pinches the nose, so that my glasses don't fog up.

(I look like a very serious bank robber, but don't look at the expression.   Just look at the darling fall mask!)

What a thoughtful thing to do.

And, I felt so very grateful for the many good people in the world!

Water and Electricity

 A week ago, in Northern Utah, they had terrible wind storms.

I mean very harsh...trees down, power lines down, It was very bad in some areas.

So bad, in fact, that for many people, they were without electricity for an entire week!

That is very hard for me to comprehend...they lost all the food in their refrigerators.

Schools had to be canceled.

I've been thinking about those poor people and I realize how needy I am when it comes to electricity.

And, the same is true with healthy, clean water.

I need them on a daily basis.

So, I am thankful for something that I often take for granted, but am in great need of.

What a blessing to always have water and electricity.

Our Health ....

 ...at this time in our lives.  

It's such a blessing to be able to move, eat, talk, think, see, hear.

Health is so precarious.

And I am grateful for Allen's health and my health at this time inner lives.

Thank you, dear Heavenly Father!  What a blessing and I never want to take it for granted.

Being Able to Clean the Windows

 I don't like dirty windows.

But, I don't necessarily like to clean them either.  

I always put it off, until something absolutely FORCES me to clean them.  Like having company, which we will have tomorrow.  

So, after procrastinating for a long time, I got out to wash them this morning.  And, while doing so, I was struck with being GRATEFUL that I could still do this task.

I could reach up, I could stand, I could move my arms, I was mobile, I could see.  And, I realized that it was a great blessing to be able to wash the windows.

I'm grateful for that in this time of my life.
