On Sunday, our sacrament meeting was all about gratitude. I learned some pretty cool things, and also was reminded of some pretty cool things. One thing that was said that I feel is worth sharing is something the youth speaker, Adam, said. "An attitude of gratitude is a disease we should share." I thought that was pretty profound for a teenager.
On Monday, Neal and I did a Family Home Evening where we made a list of some of the things we are grateful for, and then said a special prayer just to thank Heavenly Father for the things he's given us. It was pretty awe inspiring to sit down and write out a list, and then realize that we could never write down every single thing we are grateful for. We have been so blessed and given so much.
Here is just a short list of some of the things I am so incredibly thankful for:
1. My faith in and testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ - I know that I am a daughter of God, and that Christ is my Savior. I know they both love me tremendously.
2. Neal - I can't even begin to explain to you how incredible this man is. I thought I knew, but he has become even more amazing to me over the last few months. He does so much service for me, works so hard to provide for us, and strives to be obedient to the commandments.
3. My family - Over the last few months I have come to realize how much I have taken my family for granted in the past. I am so grateful for how much they love me and support me.
4. This little guy that we hoped for for what felt like so long, and that has already started changing our lives in the most incredible ways.
5. My job - I have one of the most rewarding, frustrating, enjoyable, crazy, awe-inspiring jobs in the world. Its something I can't put into words.
6. That we always have enough for our wants and needs. That we always have food, clean water, and shelter.
7. That we live in the US. Things may not be going exactly how I'd like, but its still one of the best places in the world to live.
8. Scriptures - I love studying the scriptures so much, and I'm grateful for the guidance and direction I feel I get from them.
9. The trials I've been through - They've helped form me into the person I am today. There are a lot of positive things that have come from trials I've been through.
10. That we get to work with and teach adorable 4 year olds every week on Sunday. It truly is one of the best callings I've had!
I hope you all had an incredible Thanksgiving! What are you grateful for this year?
