Gratitude

Pres. Monson reminded us that true and lasting happiness comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for our many blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives.  I realize that I often neglect to say how much I appreciate my family and my many blessings.  I feel like Moroni who said he couldn't write even 'an hundredth part' of what he knew and I feel my list of blessings is so long that I wonder if I am even worthy of all that I have been given. 

My immediate and extended family are such a joy,  my home is safe and comfortable, my children are striving to make good choices, my friends are dear to me.  Heavenly Father has blessed me with all that I need and more.  Does my life reflect His goodness?  I want to express my love and thanks to each you for being a blessing in my life.  Thank you for loving, caring, working, and sharing yourselves with me. 

I am most grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ.  His atonement is infinite and the only gate to return to our loving Heavenly Father. He teaches me to be humble in trials and strengthens me daily.  Pure love flows from him in the form of kind things you do and say.  He expects me to share the same with you.  So in meager words again, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
