This is Jeny filling in for Mom while she has fun craziness with daughters and their families. Mom gave me a great question for the month, but since it's November, the month we should consider all that we are grateful for, I decided to make the question a gratitude question. So our question is:
What 5 things are you grateful for that others answering this question may not have thought to have gratitude for?
Jeny's answers:
1. Showers and people that use them.
2. Choir practice. I love having the chance to sing!
3. My slippers and blankets.
4. Being able to have family prayer with Mark, Tara AND Spencer. :)
5. The internet! What a miracle it is to have this blog and know some of what goes on in all your lives! (ps. Tere and Mindy, thank you for making a post this week!)
