Thankful Thursday

I found a pin on Pinterest that is a 52 week thankful challenge. I could always use more gratitude in my life so I think I'll give it a try.  Week 1's prompt is 'why start this challenge'. 

I have been incredibly blessed throughout my life, especially within the last few years, and would like to express some gratitude for all of those blessings. 

Here are some quotes about gratitude from LDS church leaders:

Sincerely giving thanks not only helps recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and help us feel Gods love. -Thomas S. Monson

Let us give thanks for what we are and for the circumstances God has given us for our personal journey through mortality. -Dallin H. Oaks

Gratitude is of the very essence of worship. -Gordan B. Hinckley

Gratitude requires awareness and effort not only to feel it but also to express it. -Bonnie D. Parkin
