With so much bad news, negativity, sorrow and tragedy that seems to be everywhere, it is difficult to fight off feelings of discouragement and depression. Yet, I know that there is hope, happiness and there are blessings if we choose to see it.
I feel ungrateful to a loving and generous Father in Heaven when I focus too long on all of the sad and negative things out there. So to help overcome this, our family has been verbalizing our blessings each day. I thought we'd share some of the things we're thankful for and maybe you'll also find things you're thankful for too. Just spreading the hope and happiness!
I'm thankful for a mom and dad who love me ~ I'm thankful for a warm home ~ I'm thankful for the restoration of Christ's church ~ I'm thankful for the love I have for my wife and children ~ I'm thankful for my family ~ I'm thankful for my new transformers ~ I'm thankful my husband has a job ~ I'm thankful gas prices are dropping ~ I'm thankful I got my bulbs planted before the ground freezes ~ I'm thankful I know how to read ~
"Surely we are a blessed people,
for which we ought to express gratitude
and then show the depth of that gratitude by
the goodness and measure of our lives."
- Gordon B. Hinckley
