a happy november from me to you

november 2013

i love november. i loved september and october but november is my month. its the month that welcomed me into the world so we've always had a special bond. :)

already this november i have done things i've never done before period or done things that i've never done in the month of november. i've also done things that i haven't done in a while. all these changes just within the first three days of november give me lots of promise and hope for the wonderful month ahead.

last year i listed something i was grateful for everyday and i did a big post at the end. this year i decided i would spread it out a little and try to post on sunday nights what blessings i recognized from the week before. 

this is my formal invitation for you to delight with me for all 30 days of november. let us have hearts full of gratitude and delight in the things for which we have to be thankful for.

_________

1) i delight in learning. i had the opportunity to hear from elder oaks and elder nelson at a fireside i attended today. i then had the opportunity to attend the temple. what great sources to learn so much from.

2) i delight in assurances. this day was filled with a massive to do list, but somehow, it all got done, at least what needed to get done got done. i know that as we do the things we ought and attend to the little things that the lord magnifies our efforts.

3) i delight in being among friends. i go to church with some incredible people. it makes my heart happy and grateful to be among them on sundays. to worship with them, to learn with them and to grow with them. i feel so blessed to experience this part of my life with them.
