A Thankful Family!

*GRATITUDE LISTS*

Sent from Ryan - Our Super-Star Missionary!

I am thankful for a family on this earth and the knowledge that we can be together for the eternities.

I am thankful for the atonement of Jesus Christ. Without it we are nothing.

I am thankful for the scriptures and the treasure that are hidden within them. When my soul hungers I can always be fed by them.

I am thankful for this church and the guidance it, and the prophet, gives us.

I am thankful for the love my family gives me and the example that they are for me.

Shawn David's thoughts of gratitude

 

Family, and there's shelter to live under. To be able to control the condition of the house so you can feel a good temperature. The resources to help me throughout my life. And to have tons of opportunities to do my dreams and make choices. To do so many great things. To be watched over. To be able to have food or something to entertain me. To keep myself doing something that is good and that I can enjoy. And not have much difficulties to survive ...

I guess.
