I never knew how much love a heart could hold, until they called me mom

Things to be grateful for....

Tonight we had family home evening and Thayne taught the lesson on gratitude, and learning to have an attitude of gratitude and that we are happiest when we are grateful because we aren't worried about having more, getting more... we are content with what we have and recognize that the really important things are not what we buy, but the love and acceptance we have in our family. Wyatt and Kalli were in charge of the activity and Wyatt taught us a cute song about a turtle, and bubbles... and Nate just LOVED it and sang it loud and did all of the actions! Kalli passed out paper and crayons and told us that we needed to draw, or write what we are grateful for. There were some really great things: jobs, family, friends, house, temple, our health, the gospel, there were some good pictures.... but this one took the cake tonight! This is what Caitlyn is grateful for! And we are so grateful for it too! I am so excited for them to get married and start their lives together. They will get married in June, but the best part is that they will be able to go to the temple and be sealed for time and all eternity in early August after she has been a member of the church for a year! We are all so excited about that!!! That will be a wonderful day in the Salt Lake Temple, to see them sealed as an eternal family. THAT is something to be grateful for!!!
