Thankful

When I decided that today would be my first blog post, one song came into mind. That song is called "Thankful" by Josh Groban. In life, there are so many things to be thankful for! When someone firsts asks you what you are thankful for(like on Thanksgiving) you might say things such as food, electricty, cars, friends, water, etc... But lately deeper things have come to mind. Things such as lasting friendships, Joseph Smith and his faith to endure to the end, then we also have wonderful blessings like the Preisthood, and Technology that enables people to save lives. Sitting back yesterday I pondered this while waiting at the DMV. I saw the little children, and what a wonderful blessing! I saw the people that work so hard to try and keep the roads safe. So why am I talking about this? Because I know its something I need to work on. I'm giving myself, and all of you a challenge. Try to make a list, for ONE MONTH of something you are thankful for, without repeating. And if you can do this, then continue it! We need to be more thankful for things that we have, I mean look what the Lord has given all of us! As most of you know, I got my drivers License yesterday! What a GREAT thing to be thankful for! as the song says,
"Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for."

I couldn't have said it any better! So for todays thought, I want you to remember there's so much to be thankful for!Thankful video
