 Today I am grateful for Life's Lessons Learned. I sure have learned a lot these past few years. I am quite proud of how I seem to handle a whole array of things that a few years ago would have derailed me! Who am I kidding, they totally did derail me! Growing up- feels pretty good ♥

 I am very grateful for this Thanksgiving break my kids have had to just relax and chill. Mostly I am grateful that they have been home with me....keeping me company. Family really is the most important thing. Nothing can compare to the love we feel with our family ♥

 Today I feel extra grateful for Missionaries! They make such a personal sacrifice to serve the Lord and help others come unto Christ. Kelsey has made up her mind that she is going to put her papers in next August so she can leave within days of her 19th birthday. SO......Today Kelsey went on splits with the sister missionaries, and came home full of excitement for that day that she too can serve. I also follow my friend Kim's blog and her son is serving in England on his mission. Every Monday I log onto my computer to read Zachs letters. They inspire me and remind me of the amazing change that the Lord can make in our lives when we serve him humbly and faithfully. I am excited to support Kelsey and then Cameron and hopefully Kenady and Calvin on full time missions someday. The Lord loves all his children and wants them to all return to live with him someday. ♥

 Today I feel really grateful for life. What a miracle it is. I would not have wanted to be born anywhere else but here at this time and in this place.

 Today I feel very grateful for TIME. The time I have been given with people I love. Everything changes, sad but true. The time we have together is truly a blessing. I will enjoy every moment I get with those I live with, laugh with, learn with, serve with, grow with and LOVE! I am truly blessed with TIME to love all those in my life.

Today I am so grateful for the chance I have had to teach The Book Of Mormon to my Sunday School class this year. As I have studied and prepared each lesson, my own testimony of the scriptures, as well as my belief in the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has grown and developed. I look into the eyes of these 14,15 and 16 year old kids and I see such great Potential. Our youth today need more good examples and less critics; but these kids have been good examples to me. I know that they have felt the spirit and I know that the Book Of Mormon was written for our time. I am grateful for the service we have the opportunity to give in this gospel of Jesus Christ and how it blesses our lives as well as the lives of others. <3

 Today I am so grateful for all the friends in my life!
Each year I make new friends and just keep collecting them like shoes really :D I have friends out there that have been apart of school, parents deaths, birth of children, good times, sad times, weight loss, weight gain.......tee hee....heartache, disappointment, lots of laughter and lots of tears. I have made life long friendships in church callings I appreciate good friends that don't accept me as I am, but encourage me to be better! I have friends that are old and friends that are young.....we woman need each other to learn from and lean on! The best advice and counsel has come from good friends. We can never have enough friends. I want to add, My mom and sisters are among my best friends. I am grateful for friendships ♥

Me? Sarcastic? Now that's just CRAZY talk! hahahaha

We need a little break from all the serious posts Sherrie Dix~
Okay~ So, I am so grateful for HUMOR! I love to laugh! I can find humor in every situation........sadly.....haha
I am truly grateful for people who can laugh at themselves and people that make me laugh! I would rather laugh than cry............sometimes I do cry when I laugh hard enough. :)
...

You can't even believe all the nonsense that runs through my head when I see or think or read stuff that makes me laugh. I think the funniest things. I truly am so very grateful for all the things I have shared this month in my gratitude posts...........They are all so serious, I feel super heavy so I had to lighten the mood a little!
Now go out and make today a great day!

 Today I feel very grateful for all the people in the world that take a little extra time each day to make others feel special. Simple acts of kindness and words of encouragement, as well as a smile, a hug, a sincere compliment can go a long way. My love language is words or affirmation! I love to give them, I love to get them. I love to see others give and get them. Oh the Power of words............I want to be more aware of waht comes out of my mouth so I can always make sure it will help, not hurt. I really need to try harder. Thanks to all those who make others feel special ♥

  ♥ I am so grateful for the people my mom and dad are. They are so simple. My dad and mom have led good lives and I am proud of the people they are. They taught me the gospel and raised me in a gospel centered home. The...

y are good examples of honesty and hard work as well as generosity and love. My mom has a song for everything and she will just break out in song~most of them are primary songs haha :D My dad is super grumpy! It's really funny :D especially when he raises his eyebrow at you! They have helped me through some very hard times in my life. My dad works in his yard with my son Cameron each week and my son cherishes those times. He gets very emotional talking about how he loves his grandpa. My mom is the best grandma. She rode a bus for 24 hours once to come help me in Omaha Nebraska after I had Cameron. My kids adore her. They have gotten better with age and I sure appreciate all they do for my family. We had the chance to eat Sunday dinner with them yesterday and we had so much fun! I love You Jerry and Colleen ♥
Thanks for everything!

 Today I feel so grateful for all the stages of life. I have 4 kids that are all in school. I do miss the days of having them home to love and snuggle and care for. I do also enjoy these times, for the most part, where they are fairly independant, no one is in diapers, they go to school allowing me to make trips to wal mart alone :D, pursue my hobbies and interests, not feel like a basket ...

case and think back on the good old days when they were all home to snuggle and care for! haha :D
I also like my stage of life...........I feel more loving and accepting of my self now more than ever. I have gray hair, I have love handles, I have a few wrinkles.....But I really like that person I see when I look in the mirror. I know what is in her heart each day. I look back on all the years of my life and I am glad to be where I am. I also feel like my personal relationship with my Savior is growing each day as I reflect on my life and see the role he plays.....Life is GOOD ♥
Make today a GREAT DAY!

SO very Grateful for inspired leaders on our church

"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this eart...

h began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won’t fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.

"I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through."

‎11-3-2012 today I am especially thankful for beautiful girls who shared their teenage years with me as the YW president.

Today I am so grateful for my Heritage. I traveled to Richfield with my mom and dad this morning to attend my uncle Joes Funeral. My uncle Joe was my dads oldest brother. Joe was a true cowboy. A good ol boy. He was the oldest of 9 children. He had a hard life until he married my aunt Chris and adopted her 3 tiny boys later on in his life. He was so funny and so living and good. My uncle Joe was only 71. My dad has the best family. The Bybees are my favorite. They are all so down to earth and nice. I am proud to be a Bybee. Heaven will be so fun with all of them. So thankful for the truly amazing heritage I have.
