The Best Time of Year!

So I am getting really excited as we move further into fall and in the beginning of winter. (It helps that I am in AZ and I don't have to deal with the cold, I love the first snow fall or two... but I am not a big fan of cold weather.) I have just always looked at October as the start of the best holidays... probably because it starts with my birthday and goes to Halloween (who doesn't love a holiday surround by candy!), and continues with Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I want to take some time to think about the many blessings that I have in my life. This is a time to be grateful for all that we have been given. Hopefully I can add to this each day... or at least close to it... we'll see how our internet connection goes.

Today I want to start my grateful list with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We had stake conference today and were able to listen to a prophet of God testify of Jesus Christ. I am grateful to know that I am a child of God and that Christ is my older brother. I know that Christ guides our lives. Our lives in the last few years have taken many twists and turns and I am grateful to know that God is directing us and that He knows what He is doing!
