"Joyful Things"

This post is inspired by Kyler. I was listening to his prayers last night and toward the end he said, "we thank thee for all the joyful things". It made me smile and it really made me thing of so many joyful things that we have and don't always realize. The greatest joy in my life is probably my children. More often than not, they are the sweetest creations around me. They love each other and they love us and they show it unconditionally. It is amazing and they teach me so much about love and they see things so much differently than we do. So I am going to make a list of "joyful things"...

~~ The beautiful earth that was created for us to dwell in it.
~~ The sunshine and the moon and star light.
~~ The beautiful animals and plants that surround us.
~~ Rain.
~~ A loving husband who is appreciative and helpful.
~~ Music.
~~ Children.
~~ Children singing!
~~ Children sharing and playing together.
~~ Babies who nap.
~~ Chocolate!!
~~ Blue skies.
~~ Scriptures.
~~ Prophets.
~~ Disney movies.
~~ Balloons.
~~ Laughter!!!
~~ Smiling faces.
~~ Friends.
~~ Family.

Ok, I think my mind has gone blank. But there is a list of things that bring me joy. I need to think of these kinds of things more often and smile. :)
