Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving, November 2013

This year I am especially grateful for my Grandfather, Earl Brock.

My grandfather was a true disciple of Christ. Not only did he bare testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, he showed his testimony of the gospel through his example. He loved his enemies. He loved strangers. He loved everyone. He did everything he could to serve others. He worked hard. He gave his children and grandchildren everything they could have possibly needed and wanted. His entire life was dedicated to serving others and providing for his family. He was the ultimate father and grandfather. I am so incredibly thankful and blessed to have known Earl Brock. I am so incredibly thankful and blessed to have been one of Earl Brock's grandchildren. Before he passed away I made him one promise: to get married in an LDS temple. Because of my grandfather's example of getting married in the temple and having a successful marriage, I will get married in the temple. Temple marriage allows eternal families. I am so thankful for my grandfather's example and his desire to have an eternal family because I know my family and my future family will be together forever. I know I will see my grandfather again and I'm so thankful that I know I can be with my family forever.

I am so blessed to have the best family in the world.

I am so grateful to have the gospel of Jesus Christ because it brings me happiness.

On a less serious note, a couple of these things are a bit more humorous. 

And may I just point out #11. You're welcome for that, by the way.

It's impossible to write down everything I'm thankful for. But to sum it all up.. I'm thankful for
