Completed "Thankful Book"

I really surprised myself and was very diligent in writing in my "Thankful book" every night before I went to bed. I had so many things each day to be grateful for so I tried to not duplicate things. I tried to be as descriptive as I could so that I would remember better in the future. I am going to copy my entries here so that I will always have them (who knows where that little notebook will end up in a few years)!! I am going to copy it exactly as I wrote it, sometimes I went to bed late so hopefully they make sense!

I am so grateful for the gospel in my life. I am grateful for my testimony. I know that this is the true church and that we have a prophet of God here on the earth today, President Monson. I know that Jesus Christ came here to earth and was a perfect example for each one of us and that he made all things possible through the Atonement. I know that my Heavenly Father knows me and loves me, even when I make wrong choices. I know he hears and answers my prayers. I am grateful for the scriptures and I need to read them more and understand them better.

I am so thankful that I am married to Rich. He is a man of integrity and someone that I really look up to and respect. He is such a hard worker and so helpful around the house. He has provided me and the kids with a beautiful home and all the things we need. He is a very faithful servant of our Heavenly Father and an excellent example to everyone.
