There are a few things I want to say that I am grateful for:

I can go on forever talking about the wonderful gifts and treasures that the Lord has given us. He has done so much for me that I could never give him enough. But I can give Him my gratitude. That is what is so beautiful about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We can have joy in every season of our life including calm, happiness, sadness, anger, love, loneliness, and many other seasons.
“If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues.
Despite the changes which come into our lives and with gratitude in our hearts, may we fill our days—as much as we can—with those things which matter most. May we cherish those we hold dear and express our love to them in word and in deed.
In closing, I pray that all of us will reflect gratitude for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His glorious gospel provides answers to life’s greatest questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where does my spirit go when I die?
He taught us how to pray. He taught us how to serve. He taught us how to live. His life is a legacy of love. The sick He healed; the downtrodden He lifted; the sinner He saved.”
-Thomas S. Monson
