What Are You Grateful For?

I will wright 10 things that I am grateful for, and feel free to tell me at least 1 thing you are grateful for. You can think about it while reading these things below.

I am Thankful for...

1. My family

2. My religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)

3. My dog

4. Education

5. My home 

6. Good friends who lift me up and help me

7. My body which was given to me 

8. The necessities which keep me going

9. The services which can be performed 

10. and Nature

D&C 59:21

And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things.

Gordon B. Hinckley 

said:

"The habit of saying thank you is the mark of an educated man or woman. Express appreciation to everyone who does you a favor or assists you in any way. Thank the Lord for His goodness to you. Thank the almighty for His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, Who has done for you what none other in the world could do. Thank Him for His great example, for His tremendous Teachings, for his outreaching hand to lift and help. Thank Him for His marvelous Atonement. Confess His hand in all things."

Now hopefully you have that one thing you are thankful for now you may place it as a comment down below, but you do not have too. But once you have it you may right now pray and tell Him you are thankful for it.

Clean Humor

Ok I know I haven't been able to update lately, but I will make up for it now. I found these guys they are hilarious, and, if I had time, I would watch them again and again here go check them out at...

but if your not sure I will give you sort of like a trailer to these guys below.

Ok, Ok, because I couldn't decide which to show you I'll give you two.

P.S. Just in case you were wondering these people are not being serious it's just clean comedy. Which reminds me it's time for the daily thought. 

CLEAN HUMOR AND COMEDY

But this time I will not be using a scripture reference I'll be using a quote from the

 For the Strength of the Youth 

pamphlet, and close with that.

Choose uplifting entertainment. Avoid anything that is vulgar, immoral, violent, or pornographic in any way. Commit to keeping God’s standards.

Have You Done Any Good In The World Today?

 So earlier I found this song called, Have I Done Any Good? At first I thought it was just, well, a feel good poem, but then I looked it up on lds.org and then found out it was a song. If you would like to hear the song itself then you can visit,

 http://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/have-i-done-any-good?lang=eng 

Have I done any good in the world today?

Have I helped anyone in need?

Have I cheered up the sad and made someone feel glad?

If not, I have failed indeed.

Has anyone's burden been lighter today

Because I was willing to share?

Have the sick and the weary been helped on their way?

When they needed my help was I there?

  There are chances for work all around just now,

Opportunities right in our way.

Do not let them pass by, saying, "Sometime I'll try,"

But go and do something today.

'Tis noble of man to work and to give;

Love's labor has merit alone.

Only he who does something helps others to live.

To God each good work will be known.

(Chorus)

Then wake up and do something more

Than dream of your mansion above.

Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure,

A blessing of duty and love.

Instead of just reading this I decided to apply it. So, it was my personal goal to step out of my comfort zone and sit next to, or say high to people who might have looked like they needed a friend. The great thing was while I was walking down the hall at school I had many people saying high to me in the hall and it just made my day.   

Scriptures at church

So at church we have what's called, a Book of Mormon Moment where people will  share something they have learned while reading the scriptures or moving throughout their daily lives then applying Gospel standers or scriptures. So today I shared a scripture that's in,

                                                     Galatians 1:10

   and it says,

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

How often are we quick to do what others are doing? I mean I get it you don't want to be left out, and everybody is doing it. Right? Ok I've created some questions you can ask yourself so se if it's a good thing to do.

1. Am I helping others?

2. Am I doing it for the right reason?

3. Am I letting others influences guide my actions?

4. Will it better my future?
