Today, our prophet and church president, Russell M. Nelson reminded us of the healing power of gratitude. You can watch his message on You Tube, just search church of Jesus Christ, healing power of gratitude, and it will come up. His words were exactly what I needed right now. This Thanksgiving will be a bit lonely for most of us, and I was feeling very weighed down. Pres. Nelson invited us to spend the next 7 days using social media as a medium to share our gratitude.
I have to start with Jesus! I am so thankful for Him. As I learn of Him and His teachings, I am filled with peace. I know He is my Savior. I know He is real. I love Him, and I know that He loves me. As imperfect as I am, He forgives me when I repent, and He is patient with me while I make the same mistakes over and over. I am thankful that He suffered in Gethsemane, feeling all of our pain and sorrow in addition to the weight of our sins, so that He could know how we feel intimately, and take it from us when we believe. I have felt the comfort, the weight lifted, and the sorrow replaced with hope because of His atonement. Thank you, Jesus. ♥️
