Count Your Many Blessings

I woke up this morning counting my blessings. Shonna challenged me to do so alphabetically (see her blog) so I'll attempt to do that now: A Atonement-appropriate that it starts with A so I can list it first- my greatest blessing America Ancestors Autumn-my favorite season Apostles B Brielle Blake Brian Blogs- a fun, new addition to my life Books- I've read some really good ones lately Bed-man, I love my bed! BYU Book of Mormon C Christ Christmas Christmas cards- I love this tradition Conference talks- I'm a conference talk junkie- I love studying them Chocolate Camerons- Mark and Donna, for raising a good son Car- I'm so thankful for our cars Comments on blogs D Dates with my husband Doctors- especially this year Dishwasher- my automatic one Dryer- I didn't have one for many years, I've never outgrown my gratitude for it. Daughters Dad- I miss my Daddy E Energy- love it when I have it Email- what a blessing this is in my life! Earrings F Family- immediate and extended Friday nights- love our weekly dates Freedom Football- the BYU variety G Gasoline George W. Bush- no, I'm not kidding. The media has sold the country, the world, that he's been a terrible president- the cause of all our problems. I'm not buying what they're selling. Have there been any attacks on American soil since 911? I think he's a good, God-fearing man who's done the best he can in hard times. I hope history is kind to him.
