Grandpa was here for Thanksgiving dinner. Kelly did the awesome turkey and homemade stuffing that he does so well. Just before dinner we listened to President Monson's conference talk on gratitude. The story of the family who had hardly anything for Thanksgiving dinner sparked my husband's creativity, and we prepared ahead of time to have an oil lamp ready to use. After watching/listening to the talk, we lit the oil lamp and sat down to dinner. It was pretty dark as you can see...
We opted for a little light after a few minutes, but the girls got the message and point of being grateful for what we have. If you'd like to read this talk titled, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, you can find it here. If you would like to watch/listen, you can use the link here. The story is near the end, but the rest of his words are definitely worth the time.We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We miss our extended family more than we can say and think of you fondly and with loads of love.
