I am grateful for Kevin. I am grateful that he is not longer suffering. I know he is doing a great work in heaven. Him and his life play a major role in my life. I can't think of a more eloquent way to say it. I miss him so much, it is painful. But time has done some healing. I am learning that everything is in the Lord's time, and He is aware of me and my needs. I need to learn some life lessons on my own, without the wonderful support of my sweetheart.
I am grateful that the seasons change. I go crazy when there isn't any change in my life. Usually I resort to changing the desks around in my classroom. (Which, by the way, I did about 20 times last year. No joke!) I don't even mind the cold and snow. In every season there is something to be grateful for. Along that same note, I am grateful for a garage. It keeps my car cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I can fit 2 cars in it. I am sure many of you cannot say that about your garage!
I am grateful for family. Whenever I think of the family unit, I feel such peace. I know that families are of God. Without eternal families, the plan of happiness would be frustrated. I am so blessed to have an amazing family. They are always there, they are the ones I rely on, and I hope they can rely on me. We have such a great time when we are together, and we have so many happy memories. I am grateful for the eternal family I started with Kevin. Even though we are separated here, I know we will be together again someday. Because I married Kevin, I now have amazing in-laws. I am grateful for them and the role they play in my life. Even though I don't get to see them often, I think about them and pray for them. I hope I can continue that relationship with them. (Jeffs' family...I have no great pictures of the group. Can anyone help me?)
Until tomorrow my friends...

Thanks for sharing your gratitude list! The more we think about what we are grateful for, the more we will notice what we have been given! I need to do that more!
I'm grateful for having a sister-in-law that demonstrates such great strength and faith, even during times of adversity. Thanks for your example and the unspoken reminder to be more grateful. I look forward to the rest of your list.
What a great time to think about gratitude. Well, actually we should think about it all the time, but it's a great reminder! Thanks and we hope to see you soon!
How grateful I am for you, Tera! I love you and can't wait to see you soon!
I'm grateful that Tera makes me be a better person because she is such a good person. :)
