BLESSINGS

With all the trials that we have had lately, I thought that it would be good to also take some time and count the many Blessings we have been given:
We have a great Family! and wonderful Friends.
We have a beautiful Home that is warm.
We have the Gospel in our lives.
We have plenty of Food to eat.
We have plenty of Clothes to wear.
We have been Selling equipment even in a bad market.
Our Children are learning some great life lessons.
We verbally speak the words I Love You more.
We have some really great Memories of some really good times and we are making new ones.
Our cars all have new Tires so we should be good for a while.
The city now came back and said they would pay $300 toward Whitney's repairs.
We live in a wonderful Free Country.
We are experiencing relatively good Health.
In short, Tracy is a hard worker. He loves what he is doing now and I know that he will work hard. We have been selling equipment and we are happy to be moving on--less stress. We still have a home, cars, food, family, friends and each other. Heavenly Father has really been answering our prayers. I have 5 great kids who are trying to help ease the stress. Neighbors who give me 40 lbs. of chicken, Friends who call to check on me, A friend from the ward who is a counselor who came over to give me a little free counseling and to teach me some breathing techniques. Life is good and we will come out of this better on the other side.
Thanks for your help, support and prayers. We love each of you and we really appreciate the support.
