Gratitude


I love the quote, "Gratitude turns what we have into enough."
But I have found that in my life, gratitude turns what I have into much more!


Family * Home * Jesus * Church * Beautiful World * Friends
Siblings * Parents * Cars * Food * Water * Internet * Job
Books * School * Electricity * Clothing * Shoes * Indoor Plumbing
Sunshine * Rain * Beach * Mountains * Clouds * Sunsets
Body * Health Insurance * Technology * Temples

Gratitude is the reason I don't feel bitter about my diagnosis.
Several months ago, as I began to feel that a new trial was coming,
I prayed to my Heavenly Father that me would keep my children safe.
I prayed that the burden would be placed on me instead.
I feel that my prayer was answered, and I am grateful.

When my life feels overwhelming, and I feel like I have been dealt an unfair blow,
I start thinking about all the ways it could be worse, 
and all the people who are enduring harder things than me!

So when I was listening to counsel from our church leaders this morning, 
I found the address on gratitude to be especially applicable to me right now 
and I found so many great quotes that I wanted to share with you!

This one was my favorite.
Probably because of the rainbow.
I hope you enjoy it as much as me.
If you like it, feel free to pin it or print it as an 8x10 for your own home!
