I am terrible at consistency. But I got around to another post finally! Huzzah.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because its a time that I get to be with family, forget my worldly cares for a day, and think about all the things that I am grateful for. This time of year reminds me of how much there is to be thankful for! So I am going to list some of the things that I am most thankful for this season.
- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
- Temples
- My family (and the opportunity I have to be with them for eternity)
- The Atoning Sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
- Living in America and having freedoms not enjoyed elsewhere
- Wholesome music
- Brigham Young University
- My incredible best friends (Special shout out to my bff Tori)
- LDS General Conference
- Wealth and Abundance
- The roof above my head
- My jobs
- My talents and the opportunities I have to share them with others
- Transportation
- Modern day technology and communication
These are just a few of the many things that I am so thankful for this season. Without them my life would be nothing. I would be lost and alone this world.
There is so much to be thankful for. The Lord has given us so so much. We would be nothing without him! So this season I decided to take upon myself a challenge. This year, instead of simply talking about what I am thankful for and not act upon it... I am going to take action! I am going to thank the Lord for all that I have by "tithing" 10% of everything that I own to the Lord. That means, 10% of my pictures will glorify him, 10% of my music will be church related, 10% of my facebook will be dedicated to him, 10% of my clothing (well- more like 100% of my clothing) will be modest and worthy of his presence, and 10% of my life will be dedicated to his service! I challenge you to do the same thing and watch as it forever changes your life! :)
This is a fabulous little clip about Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did....
