Blessings

Here are some of the blessings for which I'm thankful:

I'm thankful for my life, for the chance to be alive, to see and smell and taste and hear and feel.

I'm thankful for my wife. She is a wonderful lady with a beautiful heart. She is physically and spiritually attractive. She's friendly, helpful, hard working, smart, and kind. She's my best friend. I know her more than I know anybody else and I believe she knows me more than she knows anybody else.

I'm grateful for my family, for the parents who raised me, and the siblings I grew up with.

I'm thankful for music. Those vibrations in my ears have a tight connection to my heart. It's amazing how music can produce precious memories in my mind, tears in my eyes, and a tapping feeling in my feet.

I'm thankful for the goodness of the land, for the rich soil that God has provided the human family with, the land that furnishes our tables with food, bread, meat, fruits and vegetables. I'm thankful for rain and sunlight.

I'm thankful for the beauty of nature.

I'm thankful for the beauty of art.

I'm thankful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The principles taught to me in that organization and in the home of my God-fearing parents have served me well all my days.

I'm thankful for the prayers of the righteous.

I'm thankful for Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.

It's been nice to remember some of the things God has given to me.
