As I woke up on this Thanksgiving morning I was reading President Monson's talk on Gratitude from the latest conference. This was the perfect talk to read today. I do have so much to be grateful for in my life that sometimes gets overlooked. Even during difficult times we all have blessings that we can be grateful for. President Monson reminds us to be positive and not to only see what is lacking.
Gordon B. Hinckley said :
"When you walk with gratitude, you do not walk with arrogance and conceit and egotism, you walk with a spirit of thanksgiving that is becoming to you and will bless your lives."
I think if we all would focus on what we DO have we would be surprised on how much we have been blessed with. The grateful person sees so much to be thankful for. Including telling those around you how grateful you are for them. Don't wait till its too late!
I am grateful for:
The gospel
Jesus Christ
Scriptures
My family
My friends
My jobs
My roommates
My health
Dance
Performing
Music
Frozen Yogurt
and much more...(I could get really specific)
On this day of Thanksgiving I hope we all enjoy the good food, but remember to be grateful for all the things we have been blessed with.
What are you grateful for?
xoxo
Ashley
