Blessings

I have been thinking quite a bit about all the blessings I have in my life. I know that with Thanksgiving just around the corner it gives us all time to reflect and be thankful. This week I attended the YW Night of Excellence and the new theme for 2009 was introduced. The theme for the year is "Joy in the Journey" I know that as I go through the daily routines of life, it is sometimes hard to find that joy. But as I have thought more about this I realize that we HAVE to make the time to reflect on the joys in our life. I am so grateful that I have the peace that comes from knowing and loving my Savior. I am thankful for a loving family with a husband who loves me and our children who wants to provide the best for us. I am thankful for the gospel that gives us guidelines and ways to improve ourselves. I am grateful for the scriptures that give me light and knowledge. I am so thankful for health. So many around us right now are going through so many trials with their health. It makes me grateful to be in good health so that I can care for them. I have so many blessings that to name them all would take a lifetime. But this is just my little reminder to find the joy in your journey and to take the time to reflect on the blessings in your life. And to also remember that each and every blessing we have is because of our Heavenly Father.
