With Gratitude...

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I may not always care for the way my family celebrates it--if ever...but still. I love Thanksgiving. I remember my junior year of high school with Brother Empey. We were studying The New Testament in seminary and I developed such a strong testimony of the Savior and of his unconditional love. I remember journaling the things I was grateful for and from that moment on I think I became a changed person...I just remember that whole year fondly, mostly because of seminary...I did become a changed person. Anyway, I'll probably blog (maybe) again before Thanskgiving but I made my class make a list of things they are grateful for today and I would like to share my list with you.


Things Sharlee is incredibly grateful for:

*My Mom

Food for thought...

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."--George Washington Carver
