Things we are grateful for

Yesterday was 10-10-10. We decided to share 10 things we are most grateful for.
1. Family- Where would we be without all the fun times, love, and laughter you provide us?
2. Spouse- Yes, in spite of what you may think, we truly love each other and are best friends. 40 years in 9 days.
3. Scriptures - Our Heavenly Father really did leave us the instructions for life. Now, we just need to read them.
4. Health - Both of us truly appreciate our good health. We have learned that you never know when you will have this taken away from you.
5. The Atonement - What greater love has Heavenly Father for us than to send his son Jesus Christ to atone for our sins. We need to remember to repent daily to access this unmatchable gift.
6. Mission opportunity - this is a great blessing in our life. We are so excited to be able to serve together.
7. Citizenship - our country is the greatest one in the world. Do we appreciate it and protect it?
8. Nature and the world around us - what a glorious world this is. We love the beautiful colors and all that it provides for our enjoyment.
9. Friends and Neighbors - We have such wonderful friends that continue to support and help us. Kudos to Paul Bredthauer for his help with water in the window well last week. You guys are the greatest!
10. Opportunities for education and to be able to progress- where else can you decide to learn something and then be able to learn how to do it? This blog is an example of me learning something new. We are lucky to be liefelong learners.

I am sure there are many more things we are grateful for but these were the first ones we thought of. We love you all.
