Blessings

I have been thinking about my blessings today. Our car has been to the shop twice in a week, a few hundred dollars later and it still doesn't work. I don't realize how good life is sometimes until little things don't go smoothly like they always do. I know my car not working isn't a big deal but when it is winter and -30 or more outside I sure do appreciate things working. THANK YOU to fabulous friends and neighbors who help us out. You know who you are and we appreciate you.

We are having our first Christmas by ourselves this year. I didn't think it would happen until we had our own children but with circumstances this year we felt it best to stay home. We will miss our families but appreciate you and love you and want you to know that we will think of you and will phone.

Thank you to our friends here who have become part of our family and that we can celebrate with you.

I know my Heavenly Father lives and knows me and you. We are important to Him and because He knows us He answers prayers. He also has provided us with our Savior Jesus Christ who was born in humble circumstances and lived a perfect life. I am grateful for my Saviors example and for His love for me and for providing a way for all of us to continually repent and become better and that we can live with Him again. He is one of my best friends and I know He lives and will come again.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, with health, happiness and the desires of your hearts.

We love you and thank you for being in our lives and allowing us to be blessed by being in yours.
