{ Thankful Thursday }




Thought I get back into routine starting with Thankful Thursday. First I wanted to put up a picture of my favorite wall I've done in my house and the namesake for my blog which is of course~ Live -Laugh -Love


(Sorry about the reflection on Kolt's face ) I just love this wall in my Living Room


I'm so thankful I can Live- live at this time on the earth -live where I do in this part of the world -live in a nice, clean house - live where I don't have to worry about somebody shooting me as soon as I leave it - live where the gospel is strong, to be able to live my LIFE the way I choose to.


I'm thankful I can LAUGH - laugh at silly jokes -laugh at situations that otherwise wouldn't be funny but survivable because we can laugh at it after it happened - laugh with my children - hearing my children laugh together is one of my favorite things something I wish I could capture that would last forever whenever I wanted to hear it! - Laugh at my husbands silly jokes and teasing- he is funny. I love that about him and us we love to LAUGH in our house.


I'm so thankful to feel LOVE -to be loved - and to have love- in our family nothing means more to me then the love I have for my family without love we wouldn't get far in this life. Without love my children wouldn't be in our home. They each have the kind of love that only birthmothers can have when placing their beautiful, perfect, newborn baby that they carried for nine months into our arms so that baby could have love of a mom and DAD, the love of a family, and be sealed to our family forever. There is no greater love or feeling then to be sealed as a forever family to these beautiful children that we have the priviledge of raising and having forever.


So today I'm so thankful to be able to live, laugh and love. Life is short it's all in how we choose to live, what we choose to laugh at, and how much we love.


Make it a good one.

Beautiful Christal! Love how you displayed your thoughts with those you love on your wall. Are those vinyl words?

Oh my goodness. I may have to try something similar in my home. I love this more than anything! You should reshoot that photo when you have tons of light spilling in the window and use it as your blog header. So cool.
