More Gratitude!

After reading Sarah’s blog post I decided to accept her invitation to blog about what I am grateful for. So many different things came to my mind and I didn't know where to start. Should I be humorous, or do a more obvious but serious one? I decided that I would state the obvious! I am grateful for my wonderful parents! They are my greatest advocates, my teachers, my examples, my rock, and some of my best friends. I am so grateful for the things they have taught me in my life. My mother taught me how to serve others, she was always doing something for someone and I hope that I can continue on like her! My father thought me how to work hard! There were many mornings when my dad would wake us up around 6:30 to go out in the yard and work, I might have complained way too much but I hope that I have learned the lesson of hard work that he tried to teach me, otherwise there were a lot of early mornings wasted. Lastly they both have taught me the gospel of Jesus Christ!  I am so grateful for this most of all. Because of this I have been able to gain my own testimony. I am also grateful for their example of serving a mission. I don’t know where I would be without my parents. I only listed a few of the things they have taught me. The list goes on and on, as I am sure all of my siblings would agree!
