Count your many blessings!

Tyson and I have been a little discouraged lately. We have been worrying a lot about money and jobs and things like that. As I was driving home the other day, I thought of the song Count Your Blessing. One of the lines says "When you are discouraged thinking all is lost... Count your blessings, name them one by one." So, I started thinking about all the blessing Heavenly Father has given us. I decided I would do a post about some of our blessings. So, here are some of the blessings I am grateful for:

* Tyson will be mine for ETERNITY!
* We have the sweetest, cutest, smartest little boy in the whole world!
* Blaine was sealed to us in the Temple.
* We are healthy.
* Baby Eli is growing the way he is supposed to.
* I am able to be pregnant. (When you spend years believing you will never be pregnant, you count that as a HUGE blessing!)
* Our extended families are so good to our little family and help us so much.
* The Savior died so we can repent and live with Him again.
* The Savior TOTALLY understands the trials we go through and He is able to help us through them.
* We live close to our families.
* We are members of Heavenly Father's true church.
* Tyson is worthy of holding the Priesthood.
* We have great friends who are supportive of us.
* We have a living Prophet to guide our church.
* We have a Temple close to our home.
* Tyson has a good job that he enjoys. (Most of the time. Ü)
* I have a good job that works with my schedule so I only have to work one day a week when Tyson is home with Blaine.
* We have a beautiful home.
* Our car is reliable.
* We live in a free country.
* We have money to pay for the things we need. (ie: food, clothes.)
* We are part of a great ward.
* I get to work with the young women in our ward.
* I have a strong testimony.

I know there are so many other blessings that Heavenly Father has given us. I am so grateful to Him for always taking care of our family.
