Count Your Blessings.....Name the one by one........

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, when you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, count your many blessings; name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.....
Sorry I have not made a post in awhile, I've been lost in my family tree.  My goal this year is to put sources with all the people in my tree on the LDS Church family history website, and that takes a lot of time when you have over 8,000 ancestors.  And of course as I go in to do one task, I find more names to add...... Plus I'm trying to add stories too..... Oh the work of a Family Historian is never done!  But I have continued on my path of Gratitude and wanted to share some of the things I'm grateful for this week.
1.  Moving to Utah, and Moving to Lehi.  As  both of these moves have blessed my family in more ways than I could even mention, and I'm hoping for more blessings to come.
2. My new Job.  Oh how I love my new job.  I love running around the store, I love being able to give encouragement to my employees, and I love to help the customers.
3.  Health and dental insurance through my new job.  Yeah.  We got to go to the dentist this week for the first time in 3 years and thank goodness there were no cavities.  Everything was covered under our new dental plan.  Yeah!
4. Good books that teach about how to grow closer to Heavenly Father.  I'm reading putting on the Armor  of God now .  Never thought of the battle we wage everyday for our eternal life.  My goal is to grow more spiritually this year.  I hope to share what I learn with you.  This photo I took from someone on facebook isn't it beautiful !
5. Time off.  I had a lot of time off the past two weeks and I spent 4 days at the Temple.  It was so wonderful!
6. I am thankful for my little family they are wonderful.
7. I'm thankful for good health.
8. I'm thankful for my little house.
9. I'm thankful for good friends.
10.  I'm thankful for old cars that keep on running.
Thank-you, thank-you, Thank-you.
Anyways I've had the song count your blessings stuck in my head.  and thought I'd share some with you.
