Alright...Week number 3 begins now!
A thought that has continued to press on my mind is that in order to truly change a spiritual transformation has to take place. When the promise to change is between God and you, it changes the dynamics of your purpose to change. There is a word for this change, it's called repentance. I am still learning a lot about this concept, so I can't say much about what it means right now, but overtime we will both learn something.
So another thing I have been thinking about is ways to help me on my way to "Change". Today I was watching "Mormon Messages" on youtube and found a talk from President Thomas S. Monson titled "The Divine Gift of Gratitude". He said the following, "We can lift ourselves and others as well when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. Someone has said that “gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.”
When we are grateful we remember the times the Lord has blessed us and personally I think that it empowers us to try a little harder. Positive thought cultivates positive action. This week I have resolved to count my blessings and be grateful for them. I have sooooooooo much to be grateful for.
So this week, I will focus on being grateful for all I have and try harder to show that gratitude in the way I live my life.
Peace out,
Mabs
