Thank You

In October President Thomas S. Monson reminded us that we should seek out the divine gift of gratitude:
"My brothers and sisters, do we remember to give thanks for the blessings we receive? Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God’s love."
Upon hearing this talk I was reminded of the many great gifts and blessings that Melissa and I have received. We realize that things in life haven't gone as planned but we have everything that we need. We have a wonderful home, jobs that we enjoy, and we have each other. We have been so blessed.

We also have been blessed to have amazing friends, co-workers, and families. All of you have meant so much to us. We are constantly amazed at your generosity, courage, faith, and love. We are grateful for your testimonies. You help us grow. You help us heal. Some of you have cried with us. Some of you always make us laugh and we are so grateful for you. Some of you are the person that sat on the phone with us when we needed someone to talk to, and some of you we don't even know, but we saw your act of kindness and that made us want to be better.

Thank you for being you! May your Thanksgiving Day be full of love, joy and wonderful time with family. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you again for all that you do!
