give thanks 8

1. I am thankful for being the Primary chorister. We are singing songs of thanks in Primary all month long. Today we worked on My Blessings and My Heavenly Father Loves Me. The kids (Jr. Primary especially) all sang so loud and strong today. My heart was seriously happy with the music, the thoughts of my own blessings and the Spirit being felt.

2. I'm thankful that we have a house that can accommodate our ward choir every Sunday. We meet in our two front rooms and while it is a little cramped, it works. I like it a lot better than having to meet at 4:15. I'm thankful to be singing Christmas music. This year's selection is a little less traditional than I would probably choose myself but it is still beautiful.

3. I'm thankful that my husband is always so generous with his compliments to me. He makes me feel wonderful.

4. I'm thankful for having a cute little girl to dress up on Sunday.


5. I'm thankful for birthday party invitations which are now complete.

6. I'm thankful that I really do enjoy party planning so much. The actual events rarely turn out the way I envision them but that is okay too. I have fun getting ready. Over the years, I've managed to learn how to keep the stress level fairly low before parties too. I really like to entertain. I should do it more often.

7. I'm thankful for the possibilities that a new week provides. As Anne Shirley would say, "Tomorrow is fresh without any mistakes in it." Thank goodness for that!

I didn't know you were primary chorister. That's one of my callings right now, too. LOVE it.

That picture of Anne tickled me - such a pretty smile and all decked out in pink. Been awhile since you could enjoy doing that!

I just figured out who Anne Shirley is...
You can entertain me anytime!

I thought both of your girls looked so cute on Sunday. Where did you find Emma's skirt?
