In my church, there is a song in the hymnbook called "Count Your Blessings". I love this hymn because it sings the truth of living a life full of gratitude. Whenever my life feels too tough to bear, I can count my blessings and be thankful and when I do, help and comfort come from my Heavenly Father. I hope that you can take the lyrics of this hymn into your heart and then truly count your blessings, because I know you will find that you have many. I'm going to take this opportunity to write down my blessings in my journal today and I hope you do too! Count Your Blessings Text: Johnson Oatman Jr., 1856–1922 Music: Edwin O.

Life 365 | Week 48

Wednesday, November 24, 2010 So the kids didn't have to go to school today and so they were watching some tv this morning while I was in my room. I suddenly heard the distinct sound that JJ makes when he has a seizure. I ran in and Beth was freaking out. So we waited out the seizure and got Beth calmed down. I was so relieved when he stopped seizing. I hadn't even realized he had a fever - I knew he was coughing a bit, but had no idea he was as ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 48
Monday, November 23, 2009 Bethie's last day of school this week and they got to have a little Thanksgiving dinner. She had way fun and I thought she looked so adorable in the little pilgrim bonnets/hats that they made! Tuesday, November 24, 2009 All packed up to head home to Orderville for Thanksgiving. JJ had his last day of school for the week and when Joey got home from work we drove down. Wednesday, November 25, 2009 My mom and I spent today doing all the food preparations for tomorrow's feast. It was nice to do it today so we could have tomorrow to just be together as a family. My main focus was to make our family's traditional egg noodles (from my Grandma Sorensen's recipe). Everytime I make these I think of my Grandma and how much I miss her. I hope she is happy where she is ... [Read More]
