I know that this is a day late, but I needed to extra day to compile my thoughts. First of all, I am Thankful for my family. I have a wonderful loving husband and great little girls. I also have wonderful sisters. I am Thankful to have two parents that love and care for my family as much as I do and for my Grandma and Grandpa Tellez that are still here with us. Unfortunately, my grandfather had to spend Thanksgiving in the nursing home rehabilitating from his fall, but I am so Thankful that he is still with us.
I am Thankful for my wonderful job and the great ladies that I work with day to day. They are like a second family to me. I am Thankful that Lucas has a job that he enjoys and that we are able to have a lovely house to keep my family safe and food on the table.
I am Thankful that my older sister Angela is coming in from Hawaii on Saturday, we have not seen her since Aug.
I am Thankful for books. I love to read and so does my husband. I got the reading from my Grandpa T and am grateful that my daughters love to read and hear stories.
I am Thankful to live in a country where we are all equal, we have equal rights and freedoms. I am grateful that my family is all in the same country, minus Angela thousands of miles away. I am grateful for the armed services, for the hardwork they do to keep us safe here at home and I pray for my brother-in-law Garret. I pray that he remains safe once he is deployed early next year.
I am most Thankful for My Savior Jesus Christ and my Heavely Father. I am grateful for their love toward me and my family. I have comfort in knowing that when I go to heaven, I will be surrounded by those who have passed before me. I am so grateful for prayer and the holy spirit. I love this time of year and love the growth of my spirit as I read about Christ's birth and share in the joy that is Christmas time.
My Thanksgiving was spent among my families, the Provencios and the Johnsons. I am so glad that all of Luke's siblings had a chance to come in for Turkey Day and pray they all make it home safely. I have shared many holidays with both Luke's family and my own. We often get both families together and I am grateful that they get along so well. We are so blessed to be surrounded by so many loved ones on such a special day. My best Holiday Wishes go out to all of my friends and family this Christmas!
