I'm Grateful For Prophets

 I'm grateful for prophets.  If you haven't had the chance to listen to either of the messages below, I beg you to take the time to do so.  The first is a talk  recently given by Sheri Dew, the Vice President and CEO of the Deseret Book Company.   The second is a message given by our living prophet, Russell M Nelson two years ago in November 2020.  They are both amazing and definitely lifted my spirits today!

Blessed Country

 

 I'm grateful to live in the United States of America.  In spite of the problems that exist here, I'm grateful to live in an area where I have never personally experienced war, famine, or poverty.  I'm grateful for the many blessings of freedom and of living in this beautiful country, and the many good people who live here.  May we all find ways to share our blessings and to help others in need.

The Sacrament

I'm grateful for the opportunity to take the sacrament and renew covenants with my Heavenly Father and with Jesus Christ, and to be strengthened by the testimonies of good friends and neighbors at church.

I'm also grateful for the new Book Of Mormon videos published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  This one portrays Jesus Christ introducing the Sacrament to the people of Ancient America during his visit with them after his resurrection:

Computers

 I'm grateful for my computer.  It may be a little bit old and a little bit slow, but it still serves me well.  I have a place to work and record my thoughts, memories, photos, and so many other important things.  I can scribble my jibberish, or I can even log onto the internet and post a blog post or two, or send an email or catch up with family and friends on Facebook.

Wholesome Entertainment

 I'm grateful for an evening at home with family watching wholesome entertainment on our TV.  There is much in the world today that is violent, ugly, and unkind, but I'm grateful that we can still find good wholesome entertainment that we can enjoy in our home.
