The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.  No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.

~E.P. Powell

How fun is this?

RS Christmas Party Update

Here's the latest for the Relief Society Christmas extravaganza:
It will be Thursday, December 3rd, at Lori Jenks' home.
We will be having a pot luck dinner and an ornament exchange.  You can bring a new ornament, an old ornament, store bought, hand made, anything you'd like to bring to exchange.  I will get the time and a few more specifics, asap.

The ward Christmas party will be Saturday, December 12th.  It will be at 9:00 a.m. and breakfast will be served.

Look for the Relief Society Christmas party to be the first Thursday in December.  Details will be coming later.

We now have a blog for our Relief Society blog.  If you missed out on hearing announcements, or would like to have an easy way to get your announcements to me, log on to hp4thward.blogspot.com.  I have put a few links to other websites and blogs that may be useful or interesting.  If you have any suggestions for the blog, feel free to let me know.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don’t unravel.
