This morning as I walked across the school yard with my grandson, I was very grateful for a warm coat. I looked around and was pleased to see every child in his class was wearing a coat. Last year there were several without coats and I want to give thanks for the many individuals and organizations that sponsor coat drives each year or pass on their children's outgrown winter coats.
I'm thankful too this morning for central heat. I spent a lot of mornings as a child huddling beneath the covers waiting for Daddy to get a fire started in the stove to warm our house.
I'm thankful, too, for all the fun the piles of leaves in our yard provided my grandson and me last weekend.
I'm feeling grateful today too for being able to walk without pain. It took a very painful shot into a tendonitis clump to accomplish the deed and tons of painkillers to ward off the migraine I always get following those shots, but today I feel great and will be on my way to the temple in a few minutes. That's something else I'm grateful for. I love serving in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
I know all of you have many things, great and small, for which you are grateful. Please share them.

I am so very grateful for my health. Working as a nurse I see lots of ailments and chronic conditions that are debilitating. Some through poor choices and some as a result of genes. Regardless, even though I consume too much sugar and don't always exercise like I should, my body is strong, fit and healthy. For this and all other gifts from my heavenly father, I am truly blessed.
