Thankful

Today at church, in young womens, we talked about living thanksgiving daily. The lesson was about being thankful for what we have. The sisters that taught were Sister Leedom and Sister Lowe. Sister Leedom shared a really cute story about a man who never forgot what he was thankful for. It was super sweet. Sister Lowe said something that i thought was so true. She said that in this day in age, we are constantly thinking about what we want and what we 'need' to have. But she said that we need to be more thankful for what we do have. That hit me because i had a melt down the other day about how i needed more money and how i need more stuff and how everyone has more than me, and i just realized that i have so much and if i would just thank the Lord for what i have, i would be much happier! I loved this lesson and i enjoyed it a ton. There was a quote on the table in class that said, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but to learn how to dance in the rain." I love that quotation and i am going to live by it. We also got hand outs that were these cute little journals that we are going to write in and write what we are thankful for. I have allready filled up an entire page!  

I just think that if every one is a little more thankful for what we all have, that we will all be happier people. I appriciate sister Leedom and sister Lowe for preparing such a good lesson that i really needed. I am thankful for good church leaders today. (And everyday of course) :)
