gratitude

"My brothers and sisters, do we remember to give thanks for the blessings we receive? 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." -President Thomas S. Monson

Reading President Monson's talk from October General Conference got me thinking about all of the many blessings I enjoy.
  • being a wife and mother
  • staying at home with Ella
  • having a testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ
  • living near a temple
  • our home
  • Gustavo's job security
  • family
  • friends
  • a modern prophet
  • my education
  • the opportunity I had to teach for 5 years
  • health
  • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
We are so blessed.
