For thanksgiving, feel free to post what you're thankful for!
I'm reading "Anne Frank: the Diary of a Young Girl" right now. Anne Frank was hiding with her family from the Germans for more than two years. This is part of one of her entries: "And in the evening, when I lie in bed and end my prayers with the words, 'I thank you, God, for all that is good and dear and beautiful,' I am filled with joy. ...My advice is:... Think of all the beauty that is left in the world, and be happy!"
How inspiring! to hear that from a girl that can't go outside, wears worn out clothes, and eats nasty food.
Here are some things I'm thankful for:
The gospel
Jesus Christ
The Atonement
The Book of Mormon
The Spirit
Books :)- Heidi, Joan of Arc, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Les Mis, Anne Frank (yep, I'm a big reader :))
Movies- Amazing Grace, the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, the Ultimate Gift
Heavenly Father
Life
Agency
Technology- emails, skype
Letters
Writing
Paper
Pens
Money
Jobs.....
Challenge: Go for half on hour naming things you're grateful for. Also, whenever you're upset, or sad, make a "Gratitude List." I have a notebook that's full of them, and it's pretty cool.
Here is a Mormon Message about people listing things they're grateful for:
