12 Blessings of Christmas

I am so excited for Christmas. I have such a beautiful family and I am so blessed in so many ways. I am going to write the 12 Days of Christmas, but things that I am grateful for.

1-I am blessed to have a kind, supportive and loving husband. (Not to mention he's SMOKIN'!!)

2-My children are learning about Jesus and His life

3-My parents and siblings love me and always have time to talk to me

4-I am blessed with In-laws that are understanding and accepting

5-My baby sleeps through a lot of the night, which means more sleep for Mommy!

6-My Tahoe!

7-I know that if I ever have a problem, I can go to my Heavenly Father for help and He will listen to me

8-The knowledge of the gospel is a great blessing

9-Ragno, May Lynn and Varden are great joys in my life and every day I thank the Lord that he allowed me to raise them

10-I love the computer and Internet and the ability to use them. Also the printers and cameras and cell phones and the age of electronics

11-The giving Spirit of the Holidays, everyone is a little nicer and a little more patient. I was shopping with the kids and everytime I needed some help someone was there to help me. I hope my children will understand that giving is the best gift

12-The Savior, Jesus Christ. He was born and He has redeemed us of our sins. This time of year would have no meaning if that fact was not true. But it is, and I know it, I know Jesus was born and I know that he died for us. I know I can live with Him and my family again after we die, and that is the best thing about Christmas.

I challenge all of you to make your own list and remember Jesus this Christmas. I love you all and have a Merry Christmas!!
