I can’t believe it’s already November! Like last year, I want to post 5 things I’m grateful for each Thursday in November. Here goes:
1. Health – Someone might notice that I posted this on Friday and not Thursday. That’s because I wasn’t feeling well on Thursday. Luckily I think it was just a 24-hour bug or something, because I’m feeling better now. I am very grateful for my health and the health of the rest of my family. We may get sick from time to time, and I have to give occasional breathing treatments to my kids for asthma, but we are generally healthy and I know how lucky we are for that and I hope not to take it too much for granted.
2. Avocados
Yesterday I threw a HouseParty sponsored by Avocados from Mexico. I didn’t grow up eating avocados as neither of my parents liked them and wasn’t really introduced to them until after I got married. I now love them! They are a super food and are so yummy. I’m very grateful we get avocados in season year round!
3. My jogging stroller
Even before David was born I started looking for a double jogging stroller. I finally found what I wanted when he was about 6 months old. Then my mom bought it for me for a birthday present. And I love it! I use it almost every day as I take Brian to and from the bus stop. I haven’t gotten into jogging much because it was too hot this summer, but now that the weather is finally turning nice I’m ready to start jogging more.
4. Homeschooling Aaron
I am very grateful that I have the opportunity this year to spend extra time with my oldest son. He is awesome. He loves to learn and I love to teach him. I am grateful for my education, the educational resources that abound, and the opportunity to stay home with my kids so that I can teach him.
5. Visiting Teaching
In our church we have the opportunity to learn how to love each other like the Savior does, by being assigned as visiting teachers. I have 2 great visiting teachers who visit with me every month to check on me and find out if there is anything I need. Likewise I have 3 sisters I’m assigned to check on. As I reach out to these women each month I feel the love of the Lord for each one of them and my understanding of Heavenly Father’s love and plan grow. I am very grateful for this inspired program in our church.
I’m already starting to make my list for next week! I love this exercise!
