But wait, there's more

1. I’m not sure if this is a fair thing to list, but in honor of the new James Bond movie, this weekend I am thankful for Daniel Craig (yes, Kris, I stole this picture from your friend's blog). He is about the hottest James Bond EVER! Hey, I don’t have a husband to be grateful for, so cut me some slack. ☺


2. Weekends – What a relief to have two days off of work (as long as I’m not traveling over the weekend for work) to relax, catch up on stuff, attend church, and take a breather. Weekends rock!
3. I have been very remiss in mentioning my gratitude for The Book of Mormon. I am always better able to cope with life when I read The Book of Mormon daily. As Kris mentioned, it really is a source of peace and answers that I need so desperately during these crazy times.

Instead of a quote, I’m going to share an email my niece forwarded yesterday – I find it very fitting for the theme:

I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section. The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them."
I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed
"How is it that there is no work going on here?" I asked. "So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."
"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.
"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord."
