52 Blessings Week 4

"I Thank O God For A Prophet"

I have been thinking of what my blessing would be this week. With the passing of our dear Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley the choice is obvious.

Whenever I think of President Hinckley I will think of love! How he loved the people, all people not just members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. How he loved the Lord and the work of the gospel. How he loved the Temple and helped to spread Temples throughout the world! Whenever I read his words in the Ensign, our Church magazine, I can hear his voice speaking in my mind! I knew that the Lord was speaking to us, through him.He was an amazing man!! At age 97 he continued to lead and guide the church. Surely the Lord, blessed this man to accomplish so much in his golden years. His wit and his humor were endearing!!I'm happy for him that he can be reunited with his lovely wife, Marjorie I know he missed her dearly. He will be with other family members too!! It's wonderful that families can be eternal. And what a wonderful reunion with the Savior!! I'm sure the Lord will hug him and tell him "well done, thou good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:21

A fun evening for sure. I love plays, so a few months ago I bought 2 tickets for Hairspray the Musical.

It was great. I had never been to the Mesa Center for the Arts. What a great venue! The play was awesome.

It was my friend Carolyn Miller's birthday right before Christmas, so I put a ticket in her card. A great night for sure.

52 Blessings Week 3

Well, this week I am "Thank-ful" for the blessing of my business. I am located in the heart of Gilbert, AZ. I opened for business in 1988, a friend asked me to share a suite with them. They left me a short time later. I am now in a 1600 sq ft. suite, with 8 full time employees, and 2 part time empoyees, all of whom I adore and love working with. I love the fact that I am now semi retired, so I have a extra day for myself. I have never had to advertise for employees. I love everything about my job! I know it is a Blessing and am Thank-ful everyday for Aardbark Grooming!

Since baby Garen was in the stroller, and not in alot of the pictures at the Zoo, here he is. He just turned 1 on the 21st of December. He is such a good natured little guy. So easy to please.

Fun Day

It was a great day.... Stacey, Matt and the kids came from Colorado. Oh how I have missed them all. Colten and I took them all to the Phoenix Zoo. What great weather it was, not too hot, and not too cold.

Here is Gracie, Gavin and Tristan by the Giraffe's.

Gavin will be 4 in March.

Awww, Cousins Gavin, Tristan and Gracie

Gracie is about to loose her front teeth. They were so loose.

We all enjoyed the spider monkeys. They were so fun to watch!

So funny, Tristan wanted to do everything his cousin Gavin did. He is getting to be a big boy!

52 Blessings Week 2

Ok, so this week I thought about what thing that I enjoy. I love my ipod! Would you think that I would get use out of a ipod? Yes, I listen to it at work, home, and in my car. I listen to it at the dentist, when I ride my bike, when my husband snores. I listen to church music, the scriptures, country music, watch videos, and movies. I have my pictures stored on it, I just love my ipod! Would I consider my ipod a blessing? Hum? Yes, because I love music!

52 Blessings- Week One

The 52 Blessings Project
About 52 BlessingsOnce a week post a photo of something you are most grateful for. This gives us a chance to reflect on the good things we have learned from or that have made us better in our everyday lives or things we just enjoy! I think everyone needs to be more grateful for what they have now days instead of always thinking about what we want! This is one of the things we can do to be more gracious people. It will be like a photo gratitude journal.

Thanks Cara, for the awesome idea!

I am "THANK FUL & GRATEFUL", for the Blessing of my savior, without him I don't know what my life would be like. At the beginning of each Christmas season, our thoughts turn to the birth of the Savior. The Father condescended in sending His Son; the Savior condescended in taking upon Himself a mortal body and offering Himself as a sacrifice for sin.
