So I decided to post a gratitude list this week. I am I awe of all I've been blessed with and it amazes me what people are able to e sure. I also know that the only way people are able to get through incredibly difficult things is through the help of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know He Atoned for our sins, suffered our sorrows and frustrations, and that if we turn to him and repent and make Him a part of our lives, we can be forgiven, truly ch age, endure of trials, and overcome our weaknesses. On that note, here are a few things I am thankful for, some extremely important to me and others, just things that make life fun:) :
Jesus Christ, my Savior Who loves us unconditionally
Heavenly Father, who is unfailingly patient with me
Christ's Atonement, through which I can progress
My family-I can't describe how much these people mean to me. What I want more than anything else right now is to get married and raise my own kids, I am seriously so excited for that:)
My good friends who encourage and inspire me to be better
The Book of Mormon- I found out for myself at age 11 that this book is 100% true, and I found that our by reading it and then praying and asking God. It really is simple as that.
The Bible
Good books
President Monson and other church leaders
General conference talks
My education and job as a nurse. There is nothing more rewarding than caring for sweet tiny babies who God just barely sent to this earth. My patients teach me so much even though they can't speak at all.
My body and health. The human body is miraculous and testifies to me that there is a higher power, that of God and Jesus Christ
Running- I feel so good when I run (or maybe after...) and can't wait to train for a big race again soon!
Food-how cool that there are so many flavors and yummy food to enjoy, and that I have always been blessed with enough to eat
Same goes for clothes- one of my many flaws is my love of shopping for clothes, however I recognize that so mny are not blessed with warm clothes and that I am extremely blessed to have never had to worry about that...
Nature- I never fail to be amazed at Christ's creations. Bug, beautiful mountains are my favorite:).
Piano
Tennis
Volleyball
Chocolate
Peanut butter
Good books
Good movies
Service! I am happiest when i am serving. I decided today that if I am not married or engaged next year, I am planning a humanitarian trip to Africa to do nursing. I have wanted to so that for a long time. No husband? No kids? Okie doke, then I want to go be a nurse in Africa for a couple weeks...
Missionaries
The Gospel
Temples and temple work
Wow I could go on forever. I have an incredible life and am thankful to my Savior for blessing me so abundantly. I feel a great responsibility to share, serve, and bless others lives in whatever ways God has in mind for me.
