Thankful

Tis the season to be Thankful, right?  Right.

{So I am jumping on the bandwagon... and posting 30 things I am thankful for this month... 

I will try on a daily basis... but we all know how good I am at that.  

So they will come in spurts - BUT there will be 30.  I kinda promise.  wink wink.}

{3 thankfuls}

1.  Let's get all the mushy stuff out of the way - I am thankful for the man I married.  For how he loves me daily - even when I would be the first not to love me some days.  Did that sound odd?

He supports me in my crazy ways, and gives me something to look forward each day.  His heart is made of gold; and I am lucky to wake up each morning knowing I am loved through and through.

2.  I am thankful for spilled lucky charms.  They humble me.  Seriously.  My cute little wreck of a son can not eat cereal and not spill it.  It is part of the routine.  But today, as he knocked it over, it was not because he had it hanging over the edge of the table... but because he was taking it to the sink to "put it away".  And so - I am thankful for a son who strives to please me.  Who has me in mind and who is listening to my "messages" even though I think he lives in lala-land most of the time.  He is a good good boy who is becoming more of a little man than I realize.  I hope I don't miss too much, because in the spilled lucky charms moments I love him best.  And those moments come throughout the day - a lot; and I am not always seeing through the spilled milk.  

3.  My new calling in church.  I am over the Laurals {Young Woman ages 16-18}.  I am the advisor, meaning I teach on Sunday - and support in whatever other way I can.   

Lately it has been difficult to sit and study the scriptures.  My day ends before I even have time to sit; and I, being lazy, don't do my part {reading scriptures} = so I don't feel what I yearn for.  The spirit.  

Since receiving this calling I have had the chance to sit down for a couple hours a week and study out a lesson.  It has done me more good than those young woman; I am sure.  And I am grateful.  I am really excited for this calling, and that in itself - for me - is something I haven't felt in a long time.  Excitement for a calling.
