So thankful!

I'm so thankful to know that families can be together forever! My darling Grandma, Beth Lyman Edwards passed away last night. She was 99 and had been a widow for almost 40 years! I know there was such a beautiful reunion in heaven! I'm sure my dad, my sister and my niece were all there as well! She leaves behind such a beautiful legacy of strength, perseverance and obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ to her 7 children, 34 grandchildren, 76 great grandchildren and a great-great grandchild on the way! 

I have talked about her to the girls all day. I'm so grateful we had such a lovely visit with her in August! 

We also talked a lot today about gratitude, which was also the theme for our Family Home evening tonight. I reiterated one of my favorite quotes and life mottos. "It's not that happy people are grateful. It's grateful people that are happy!" I believe this whole heartedly! So tonight we came up with things that we are grateful for starting with every letter in the alphabet! It was so much fun and counting my blessings was much needed for tonight!
