Andy and I woke up with Atticus to do our morning scripture study. We missed a lot of conference this year so we are re-watching those we missed. We cuddled while we watched and discussed the talk after it finished. I then went and sat on our nice comfy couch and heard our heater go on. The heaters in our place are in each room with their own thermostat. I flipped it on this morning without even thinking about it and heard the usual ticking sound it makes while heating up. All at once it hit me how blessed I am. I got a particularly large amount of sleep last night in my warm bed next to an incredible husband. I woke up to a wonderfully happy little boy and watched a conference talk on our computer using the internet. I had heat just by flipping a switch and cold orange juice from my fridge.
I have been having more of these gratitude moments recently. Another one was just Saturday. We had family pictures taken and it turned out better then hoped for. My busy husband took out time to come and spend time with us in the beautiful U of I Arboretum. The leaves on the trees were breath taking colors and our children behaved perfectly.
I hope to never over look all of my many blessings that my Heavenly Father gives us each day.
