"And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle, easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal, always returning thanks unto God of whatsoever things ye do receive."
Alma 7:23
It's that time of year when the red and gold leaves are falling, the temperature is a little crisper, and the desire to eat pumpkin pie is nearly overwhelming. The Thanksgiving season is upon us, at least it should be a season, and not just a single day to eat turkey and watch football. We wanted to enjoy this season by really showing our gratitude for the many blessings we have, and increase that gratitude by working on recognizing all the blessings God grants unto us and our families. We've decided to come up with something to do each day in our own lives as we try to Become more grateful and full of thanksgiving.
"Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Ephesians 5:20
-Sarah & Rachael
We both feel that being grateful is not only a good thing to be, but a divine quality to Become. Think about someone you know who lives a life full of gratitude. This person experiences life just like us, sometimes experiencing adversity or challenges that are extremely hard or more than what we think we could deal with. Yet this person lives in gratitude. Don't you find their gratitude infectious and inspiring? Their gratitude gives them hope, determination, peace, strength and happiness and love. That kind of person can't keep it all to themselves and their gratitude spills into your life too. We hope you'll join us as we try to Become grateful this month and keep that attitude of gratitude part of our lives.
