A Day of Gratitude

Today we had a lesson on Gratitude in our church Relief Society meeting (a women's group for those of you who are not LDS). I decided to take a moment today to express my feelings of gratitude to my Savior and Heavenly Father who have blessed me with everything I have.

I am grateful for:
  1. My husband and children. Without them in my life, it would be so empty.
  2. My Savior's love and sacrifice for me. I know He lives and paid the price for my sins.
  3. The Plan of Salvation, whereby all mankind can be saved to return to live with Father in Heaven again.
  4. My Temple covenants, whereby we are all sealed in God's eternal family.
  5. This beautiful earth and all of the Lord's creations thereon.
  6. I am so happy to be at home with my children and have the opportunity to expand education at home.
  7. I am thankful for the recent rain in our area to replenish this dusty valley.
There is so much more, of course, but I feel these cover the basics of my gratitude.

Please post what you are grateful for!

  1. I don't think we stop and take time to be grateful enough, so thank you for making me think of things...my husband, who loves me in spite of all my quirks - my children who have inherited all my quirks - my challenges or struggles in life that make me a stronger person for overcoming them - my RS calling, if you can believe that one, for giving me compassion and empathy for those whom I have stewardship over - diet pepsi, for giving me the energy I need to get through most of my days, because without it, I wouldn't know how to reward myself for drinking water, yuck.
