12th Day of Thanks&Giving - The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Ok, so I very rarely post about religion, and although the other Thanks&Giving days may not be in any particular order, but this one may possibly be the one that I am MOST grateful for. First of all, if by some strange chance, someone is reading this and does not know my religious affiliation (because you obviously do not know me) or if you are just curious, you can click here to find out what we believe. Because now is not the time for me to tell you all of what I believe or what guides my life, but WHY I am grateful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

I am grateful to know that

• if I lose a loved one, I will see them again and we will be together.
• when I pray, my Father in Heaven listens and answers me.
• my husband I are married and sealed together for eternity, not just this life.
• I have support in teaching my children values and principles that will help them lead a happy and productive life.
• I can have comfort and guidance in making it through life's trials.
• there is a purpose to this life.
• we have modern-day prophets to give us guidance and help answer life's tough questions.
• God will not ask me to do anything that is beyond my capabilities.
• because of Christ's sacrifice, I can be forgiven and know that the Lord does not expect me to be perfect. Because of His atonement, the areas where I am weak or lacking, he steps in and takes over.

I am grateful to have the Lord's hand in my life. I am grateful for church community and the acceptance that I feel amongst it's members. I am grateful to have experienced this unity in all parts of the world and to see people from all cultures and all walks of life believing and striving for the same thing. I am grateful that there are people who have given up years of their life to share this message and help others be converted unto Christ.

No stories, or links, or pictures to share today. I just hope that tomorrow we will all take the time to REALLY think about what we are MOST grateful for and Who we have to thank for all of those blessings.
