Much Overdue...But none the less thankful

Although this post of Thanksgiving is MUCH overdue,

I feel no less thankful for my abundance of blessing!

We have not been without challenges

(financial strains have been the greatest),

but those we have faced seem minimal compared

to challenges of those we know and love.

Family

(both our own little family and

all of our extended families on both sides)
means so much to us!

We were grateful to spend time with

the Asplund's and the Hanamaikai's during

Thanksgiving (thankfully on seperate days).

We have such special bonds with our

siblings, parents, in-laws and our kids with

their cousins, aunties/uncles & grandparents.

Another great blessing we cherish

is that of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and

our membership in HIS church.
We TRY to teach our kids of its importance

and hope that their own testimonies grow

and can one day stand strong.

Life is GOOD and amidst life's MANY challenges, we feel blessed!
