11.1

My kids have a little gratitude jar that they get to pick a paper out of each day in November. It is a reminder of something they should be grateful for. Today it was cousins. Thankfully we live by most of her cousins but there are 2 that live in Utah. So, Allie called up her little cousin Kenzie and chatted. She was so excited! :)

I want to keep a record of some things I'm grateful for each day this month too. Something that happens that very day to be SO grateful for.

Today I was reminded of CHARITY...the pure love of Christ. My parents surprised me beyond belief today with something in the mail. I will never be able to truly express what I feel inside for their love. They always show love for me and those around them. Here they are serving a mission and helping thousands and millions of people in this life and the next! Just two things out of so many that they do for others. I love, love, love you!! Thank you for your example and charity!

We were also given a great example of charity this week. It is humbling and makes me want to be better at giving. Thanks for your post, and what a great idea! I'm going to do this! -Chelsea

What a great idea for my kids. I am going to have to steal that idea for our family. You are so great! I am so glad we are friends. You are such a positive, uplifting friend. Thanks so much for being such a great example to me.
