Attitude of Gratitude

November has come and gone and gratitude has filled me for the many blessings I have. Here are some  of the things I am grateful for (in no particular order):
My amazing and supportive family
The temples and especially so many in Utah
Covenants I have made with the Lord
The Atonement of Jesus Christ
My house, electricity, internet, cable, phone
My car with its many features
Time with my family
The ability to go to school an  learn more
I am grateful I can dance ad I can still learn more
My testimony
The opportunity to serve a mission
Amazing friends and teachers
My job and mentored research
FOOD
Church leaders
Book of Mormon
Clothes
Heated and filtered water
Doctors, modern medicine and natural oils
The testimonies  of my family and friends

I love the many things I am blessed  with. I recently finished reading The Continuous Atonement by Brad Wilcox and it has expanded my love and understanding of not  only the Atonement  and the blessings associated with it but the whole Plan of Salvation as well. I would encourage you to read it if you need and extra boost.

This month I have also rediscovered my love for music. I love Yiruma`s River Flows In You. It is such beautiful piece of music an  has a great flow. It also has.  Beautiful easy arrangement that's helps me play it.

Hallmark and  lifetime have started playing cute Christmas movies. I love watching them and the spirit of Christams they share.

I am so grateful for my friends serving missions and I am so excited to serve with them. The Lord has  blessed my life  in more ways than I can express and I am grateful and excited to share His love with others.

I know the Lord has a plan for everyone and everything and as we put our faith in Him, He will bless our lives in ways we could never dream of. I know life is hard, and as we turn to Him, He will help us and never  leave us alone. He loves us more than we understand. he loves us through everything. He is our father. He wants a relationship with us, He wants to know YOU. If your relationship that isn't what it could be, I invite you to start today. Pray, give thanks, if you don't know what to say, just talk about things that make you happy or sad. It will get easier if it is awkward. If you have a good relationship with Heavenly Father, I invite you to pray out loud, by yourself sometime this week.

If you want to see a great and inspirational movie go see Saratov Approach. It's a movie about missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is an amazing  movies. So look for it in a theater near you.
