26 Apr 2010

1) I'm thankful for each time I relearn the basic lesson that people are more important than things.  Relationships are more important than to-do lists, and the work we do to nurture the relationships that we have is not something that we will regret in the eternities.

2) I'm thankful for the opportunity each week to be forgiven again of my sins and renew my covenants with the Lord through partaking of the sacrament.

3) I'm thankful for leaders who realize the value of relationships and seek the best guidance that they can get from earthly and divine sources in order to provide the leadership each person they lead requires.  I'm also thankful that they devote the energy and time required to provide this kind of leadership.

2) I'm thankful for the guidance and inspiration a loving Heavenly Father gives to his children, individually and to his prophets for the whole world.

3) I'm thankful for living prophets on the earth today who are truly lead by God to teach us what He wants us to know in these days, and for the prophets and others in previous days who have made the scriptures available to us now.
