Gratitude This Thanksgiving


I just want to take a moment to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. One reason I'm very excited about Thanksgiving this year is because this is the first time in three years that our whole
family has been able to be together all at the same time. Family means everything to me and to have no empty chairs at our Thanksgiving table means more than I can express. I'm so grateful for good health and much happiness in my life. The thing that makes life so enjoyable and meaningful to me, besides family, is the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the Lord's love and for his great sacrifice. I'm so very grateful that the Lord's true church has been restored to the earth and that I live at a time when I can benefit from that blessing. Life would have so much less meaning and purpose without it. Sometimes I wonder why I am so blessed. I guess mine is not to ask why, but to ask why not? I'll gladly take any blessings that are offered me and be grateful for them. May we all show gratitude this day and every other day throughout the year!
