What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving season? I've always loved this holiday, and it's only ever so slightly behind Christmas in my mind. I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful that I'm a member of the Lord's church and for Christ's atonement. I'm thankful for a place to live. I'm thankful that I have a job even in this bad economy. There are many more things, but those are some of the main ones.

the knowledge, understanding and testimony we have of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
a Prophet who receives revelation from the Lord
personal revelation as the Lord sees we need it
my wife and I still love each other after all these years
our kids, especially getting one home from A'stan, and grand kids
good health for our age
being financially solvent and able to help others on occasion (the house and the cars are paid for, but I sometimes think the kids will never be paid for)
what I think is a fairly accurate understanding of why our country and the rest of the world is in the "awful situation" now that the Lord warned us about thru Moroni that enables me to oppose it and prepare for it.
Today I am simply grateful for prayers answered and NOT having to go to the hospital over this stomach bug.

Obviously, and foremost, the atonement and the gospel restored -- all other good things are made possible by that.
My precious family.
My garden.
My chickens, and when some of the old hens needed to become soup, a friend took them to a processing plant for me, so none of us had to do the awful deed.
The Holy Ghost, for trying to help me stay on the straight and narrow. (A favorite J. Golden Kimball quote, "No, I don't stay on the straight and narrow, but I cross it as often as I can.") I fear that I zigzag a lot myself.
