A Grateful Heart

"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."

During Relief Society we were asked the following question.  Do I sometimes complain about my blessings?  My thought was "Unfortunately Yes!"  How many times have I complained about the food I have to eat when there are people in the world who have nothing to eat?  How many times have I complained about lack of rain when there are those back East who have too much water.  Living in a desert does have it's advantages.  How many times have I complained about my home, my clothing, my car?  There are people in the world with no home, no clothing, no car.  I am very blessed.  I need to rejoice for that which I have instead of complain for that which I have not.

So here is my first gratitude.  I am grateful for 19 grand children.  I an so grateful for that deep abiding love I have for each of those children.  Thanks for letting me be a part of your lives.  Love ya kids!
