"Live in Thanksgiving Daily"

My heart has been so full for the many blessings that I get to enjoy in my life. I am so grateful to be a mother and a wife. I find great joy in that calling! I came across an article this morning that is very appropriate for this Holiday season. It is by Elder Wirthlin and you can find it here. What a beautiful reminder to keep our eyes, hearts and arms open in thanksgiving.
He states, " Think for a moment, if you will, of someone you know who is truly happy. We’ve all met those who seem to radiate happiness. They seem to smile more than others; they laugh more than others—just being around them makes us happier as well. " When we are grateful and have a thankful heart we are happier. We are meant to find joy in this life, that is why our Heavenly Father asks us to be grateful. I hope I can strive to "live in thanksgiving daily", so that I can "enrich my life and the lives of those that I love."

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!! I am so thankful for family and friends! May your holiday be a happy one!!
