Gratitude - That Husband of Mine!

With Thanksgiving being at the end of the month & in an effort to recognize the hand of the Lord in my life more often, I would like to work on my goal of expressing my gratitude (especially my gratitude to my Heavenly Father) more often.

Life happens, and you get caught up in life. Lately with all of our plans for the future buzzing through my brain (all day long!), I have found myself "caught up in life" & I would like to take some quiet moments each day (many, if possible) to ponder all those many wonderful blessings in my life. On my lunch break this afternoon I decided to just sit in my car with no radio & no phone calls - just me and my thoughts. I thought about my life, my wonderful husband, & my mind wandered to our daily rituals. Mr. Norton has always been the best at making time for his scripture reading every day (my guess is he spends hours studying every day!). I am grateful for the example he sets for me, and the encouragement he always gives me. Today (and every day) I am grateful for a husband who wants to read the scriptures with me every night.

                                         

Kenny is a spiritual giant in our home. His conversion story is truly a miracle. I am so very proud of who he his, and all of the greatness he will achieve (I believe I am his #1 fan). Last night we were reading in The Book of Mormon & so much peace and calm could be felt as the Mr read out loud. Afterwards we discussed faith and trials. I cherish those moments where we get to discuss the verses and parts of the story that stood out to us. We teach each other, and our testimony is always strengthened. I love these quiet peaceful moments just before our evenening slumber.

As I express my gratitude today, I can't help but think I am one lucky girl!
