I am WAY Behind

Alright, so I am not doing so well at doing this everyday, but I will try to get caught up.

Gift #10: Love. He gives us all unconditional love. I am so extremely grateful for this, as there have been many times in my life that I have needed it as I am sure everyone has. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son." What a thing that we have needed...LOVE!

Gift #11: Opportunities to Serve. "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God." I love this because I love to serve. I don't do it as often as I should, but when I do, it is wonderful. I think that he realized this and so that is why he commands us to serve others.

Gift #12: Families: What a gift this is!!!!! I cannot express this enough. I love my families! I don't know what I would do without them. They have always been my lifeline in life.

Gift #13: Sacrament. This is an opportunity to renew our covenants with him. If one were to study the subject of the sacrament there would be a lot to learn that we never knew, as there would be of any subject, but what I have learned in the past has made it much more meaningful to me.

So, this has just been a skimming over the gifts for these days, but I am very grateful for each and every one of them. Without them, we wouldn't be who or where we are.

One of these days we will have our Christmas tree all decorated and I will try to put a picture on here of it. It has lights on it, but that's about all for right now. We have an idea that we were going to do today, but it is WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too cold out there to do anything about it. Maybe next week.

I hear you on the family being your lifeline. And the other things are all great gifts! I'm sorry about the cold weather up there!
