This morning I prayed to "live in thanksgiving daily." I'm not sure what made me think of it, but I do want to be a more grateful person. To turn my negative thoughts into positive ones.
I had to look up the scripture: "Live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you." (Alma 34:38) What a great scripture!
So today, I've been thinking about all the things I have to be grateful for.
A car that takes me places with a heater that works.
Lots of countertop space in my kitchen.
Time to practice the organ. Organ shoes. A place I can go to practice.
Money to buy food for my family. Nearby stores.
Plenty of rain and snow this winter so we'll have water this summer.
Time to exercise. A treadmill to walk on for when there's too much snow outside.
A healthy body.
A sweet little girl who survived when she shouldn't have.
I could go on and on. But this is my goal for the next little while: be grateful.
