Here we sit like birds in the wilderness waiting for our email to come this morning. What a wonderful way to start the week. We so look forward to hearing from our missionary each Monday. It has been such a blessing having Spencer on a mission. He is in the swing of things in Honduras. One thing he has learned already is that those who fall into inactivity stopped reading the Book of Mormon daily. His testimony of daily scripture reading has really grown. We have been trying really hard to have family scripture reading daily. Rebecca usually misses out since she is already gone for seminary, but we keep trying to find a better time so all can be here.
Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday. As we spend the time with family, I am more and more grateful for my sweet family. They are such a blessing to me. We love being together every chance we get. Our kids all love to get together also. My parents were so wise and loving as they taught us the gospel and the importance of loving one another.
I am so grateful for the gospel in my life. My Savior gave His life for me, and for that I will be eternally thankful. The blessings I have been given testify to me how much the Lord loves me and each of us. As we are in the Christmas season now, I am excited to really focus on the birth of Jesus Christ, and the reason He came to earth. I love my Savior. What a glorious blessing the gospel is in my life. He lives, He loves us, and He has a plan for us. What more do we need?
