Today we celebrated the reason for this month of gratitudes; Thanksgiving! The food of this day is marvelous and the Cahoon Clan knew how to have a great Thanksgiving feast. It was delicious! Probably my favoritest if all the foods are the rolls! I love homemade rolls and we had some amazing ones this year. But even more than the food is just gathering and being with Family. I am grateful my parents have taught the great importance of gathering. They faithfully drive down from WA to UT every single year to be with family. It's a great distance to be here for just a few short days and they do it each year! It really is incredible to me!
One of my dear younger cousins we've been staying with commented the other morning, "Did you go to mothering school or something? You're such a good mom and you can tell you love it and are happy. I don't see that very often." This comment truly gave me the biggest boost and the happiest feelings ever. It meant so much to me that a young teenage boy noticed that and voiced it to me. Family really has always been the most important part of my life and I've striven to always put them as a top priority in my life. When it boils down to what I'm most grateful for it's being the person I'm meant to be!! I know that Heavenly Father has great things in store for each and everyone of us to become, but we have to be malleable and himble to allow that transformation. I am not perfect at that, but little comments like this from my cousin help to encourage me that I am doing better than I think. I want with all my heart to be a good mother, daughter, wife and friend. How grateful I am that I am blessed daily to become a little better. Daily we are given the power to choose to be thankful for who we are. Be grateful for YOU and the person you're becoming each day. Thanksgiving, thank you for reminding us to be grateful!
