In these times of economic hardships and the feelings of no job security- I thought I would take this time to express my thankfulness to our loving Heavenly Father. I am so thankful that we have a roof over our heads, that we have food on the table, that we have loving family and friends and that we have the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. Recently when meeting with a member of our Bishopric, I was truly amazed at this brothers attitude. You see, he had just been laid off at his law firm- as did 9 other lawyers. A lawyer! Something I never thought could happen, and yet here he was testifying to us at how he has faith that things will be fine! I was so impressed and thought- wow! Could I be so sure?
"Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him." D&C 7:12
So remember to give thanks for all that you are privileged to enjoy. I wish you all the Happiest of Thanksgivings and the best of times with your families.

hey old lady! I wouldn't know what was in style in the 80's since I was only 7 when they ended. I didn't use a can of hairspray so I don't think that they are 80's bangs. I am right in style. You know how I am, keeping right up with the style. And by the way I went to the dr and weight freaking 148, holy crap. So, I weigh more than you, nice try! Holy BLIMP!
Thanks for that great post and scripture. I think everyone needs a little faith right now. I know from recent experience (Ayzie:) that if you have faith in the Lord everything will work out. I miss you guys and I'm glad your doing well. Thanks for checking in on us from time to time. Merry Christmas
