Try to keep this comments about things you are thankfull for, and don't rip on others comments.

I'm thankful for, and in no paticular order;

A knowledge of our Heavenly Father and his Son, Jesus Christ.

I'm thankful for a beautiful, loving wife.  I'm thankful for our relationship and thankful for all she does for me and our children.

I'm thankful to be blessed with four perfectly healthy and beautiful children. I'm thankful for the joy and trials they have brought my wife and I.

I'm thankful to live in a country that still allows me the free exercise of conscience.

A country that allows me the right and control of private property.

A country that allows me the right to protection of life.

I'm thankful for those in the Armed Services, now and those in the past, that have given so much to protect those rights.

I'm thankful to those who have contributed to the UtahPatriots.com community, and made a diffrence in the world.

I am thinkful for:
1. 1 was born in this generation to see and witness great things, such as, the gospel, scripture, internet, technology, and knowledge.  My life is much better than great kings in the past.  My opportunity to grow, to learn, to recognize valuable things, to contribute to the world are amazing.  
2. I was given the chance to come to the United State to seek for my dream.  I was introduced to LDS faith.  I was given the blessing to have a family, a wise and understanding wife, four children each with unique characteristic that makes my life full of meaning.

I am a creature of my comforts.  I am so amazingly blessed and my list is long but here are just a few things I would not want to live without.

I am thankful for clean drinking water and toilets that flush.  Electric lights at my fingertips, and an oven to cook my food.

Of course I love being able to go around the corner to Costco or Walmart to pick fresh meat, veggies, fruit, cheese, medicine, or a million other amazing products.  I love having lots of choices on which kind of apple to buy or which of a million breads to choose from.  

I love my warm, comfortable bed to sleep in every night.  Great blankets that keep me warm.  Carpet under my feet when I wake up.   Warm steamy showers after I workout and a fresh out of the dryer towel to wrap up in.

I'm thankful for a clothes washer and dryer, in fact I don't want to imagine trying to go to a laundry mat, or worse yet carrying water from the stream.  
I'm thankful for a dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, and microwave that make eating a joy and not a burden.  

I also love being able to jump in my car to go to the store, the rec center, the library, or a friends house.  I love that to go to most of my friends houses I wouldn't need to go in a car because I can walk there.  The irony lies in the fact that recently my most favorite activity is leaving the cars home and going on a bike ride with friends.

I am also thankful for great kids. My daughters class has been studing American History and last night she was so proud of the copy of the Constitution that they received now that they have come to that portion of our countries great history.
I am glad they have given this to the kids and I am happy that my daughter was so excited about it.
