Recently there has been many posts of gratitude. Bloggers have been listing all that they are thankful for this holiday season.
I have enjoyed reading all of the blessings that you have in your life. Big and small. One of my friends posted that he was thankful for his pinkie toe. He then proceeded to post all of the pinkie toes usefulness.
It goes to show you that there is not much that we shouldn't be thankful for. As we prepare to celebrate this Thanksgiving day with family I felt I couldn't let the day pass without expressing my own gratitude.
In a recent talk given by my church leader President Thomas S. Monson he said, "Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God's love."
I know that when I truly recognize all that I have I can't help to recognize God's love.
I can't even begin to count my blessings. The past couple of years I have even learned the blessing of trials. I know that what we have went through the last couple of years with work and money has led us to a better place. No matter how much I wish we wouldn't have had to go through this trial it has been a good experience for me.
Today, I will sit and eat dinner with my husband, children, nieces, nephew, and in-laws. The blessing of being able to share our lives with family is priceless.
I guess what I am trying to say is, "What do I have not to be Thankful for!"
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Hugs and Prayers
