It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

    Hi Meghan, The Hoddy family has been following your blog and we love to see the progress you are making! Your mom is awesome for keeping us all updated. Livi is 13 now and I am trying to keep up with the junior high lingo. Her latest word is "simmer". What is that supposed to mean? My kids love all of your furry visitors. They are all so adorable. The Hodddy kids have given up on getting a dog and are now constantly talking about a bunny--we'll see. We are sooo happy to see you feeling better!

    Hi Meghan
    we are so pleased to see your smile get bigger and brighter every day and to see the amazing progress you are making. It gladdens our hearts.
    Spring has arrived in England and Colin and I are off on our holidays soon. We are visiting my Mum, Eileen, who you met a couple of years ago and then going walking. On our way home we are picking up our new DOG!! We are soooo excited. She is a rescue and is a very pretty German Shorthaired Pointer, black & white and called Bo. Will send a picture when we can. Perhaps you will get to meet her when you next come on a trip to England?
    Keep strong and keep smiling.
    Much love and prayers
    Judi & Colin, Norfolk, England

    Hi Meghan,

    I'm soooo glad you are feeling better. You have been in our prayers. I hope they get your radiation machine fixed soon so that you can get that going. Radiation is a breeze compared to everything else you've been through!! Keep your spirits up. Continue to rely on Heavenly Father for strength and peace. I'm so grateful we have the gospel!

    Have a wonderful day today! Give your Mom a hug for me.

    Love, Sister Van Ry

    Meghan you don't know me yet, but I have sure heard lots about your family. This is Sarah - Mindi & Kristin's favorite Sister-in-law in Idaho (just don't tell the others!) We love to watch your progress and smiles. The Showalter's have adopted you into the family and so have we. We've been praying for you, checking up on you, and now get to watch you online - yahoo! We can't wait to actually meet your fam someday.

    I am so glad that you are doing so well. I will be back in New York next month with Dennis and hope to see at least some of your family. Keep up the great work on your PT and give your mom a hard time for me.. We sure love you and remember you in our prayers. We are starting to have spring here in the great state of Idaho, even if there was a skim of snow here in American Falls last night,
    at least Glenns Ferry knows that it is spring and everything has started to grow there.
    Love you.
    Grandma Donna
