Wise Words

Well on Sunday I was listening to Sounds of Sunday on the way to work and heard the thought from Pres. Eyring. He said that he started to write down ways God has blessed his or someone elses life in his family no matter how tired he was or how early he got up in the morning.
For me this was insightful because I over look this all the time. I first started to look and my life and said well gee Im not thinking of anything. Then I realized that it was how I am looking at it. In the words of Pres. Faust "it doesnt have to be some great thing". We get small blessings all the time.
I havent had a seziure for nearly a year now and that is a blessing and it may not be great but it is still a blessing. If we look at our lives and see the blessings large or small we will start to see more and we will be more grateful to our Heavenly Father for what he has done for us and that will increase our relationship with him and also give us more things to thank him for in our prayers and every day lives.

You are an extremely awesome person and you uplift my spirits. I believe gratitude is powerful stuff and full of blessings. It is displeasing to the Lord when we don't have gratitude. Those who see and feel gratitude even in their suffering I believe are held up by our Lord and also blessed beyond measure. You give me strength Man Child. Charity is the greatest of all, but Hope is next and very powerful. Always have Hope. You ave most beloved to mom, mom, mom, mom, dude.
