Grateful


grat·i·tude:

[grat-i-tood, -tyood]
the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful


President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "When you walk with gratitude, you do not walk with arrogance and conceit and egotism, you walk with a spirit of thanksgiving that is becoming to you and will bless your lives."



We have so much to be grateful for this time of year . . . and every day of our lives for that matter. My heart is full of gratitude today for all that my life has been blessed with.

We are growing our gratitude tree this month. Each day, each of our family members pick one thing that they are grateful for and write it down on a leaf, and then it is hung on our tree.

I am so impressed by the maturity of my sweet girls in doing this activity. It has been hard to only write down one thing each day because as we get to thinking of all that we have, we really do have so much to be grateful for!

Happy November!
