I think it is important to count your blessings all the time. However, I don’t do it all the time, not formally, consciously, forming a list. I think for the most part I have an attitude of gratitude, but as with all things I can always do better. I know that counting my blessings when I feel the least like counting my blessings always changes my attitude for the better. When things are stressful around here and it seems like all I can see are negative things around me, if I start to think about my blessings, I start to feel hope. Some days it is hard to make myself stop the negative narration and think of the blessings, but I always realize that is when I need the change it will make in my heart the most.
First on my list this time is my knowledge of a Father in Heaven and His divine plan. Knowing that He has a plan for all of His children, a plan for me, gives me hope and purpose. It is simple for children to understand and yet holds such profound truths. As my knowledge grows, its meaning grows. It puts this life in perspective and a reason to keep trying to be my best self—to become. My knowledge of His plan shows me where to turn for help, how to fix my mistakes and gives deeper meaning to the principles Jesus taught and deepens my desire to choose the right.
