173. Today I am grateful for my heart

Yesterday we celebrated Valentine’s Day, a day that has made the heart shape so popular. Today I would like to express gratitude for the heart that beats inside of me. Without it, I wouldn’t have anything else to be grateful for.

172. Today I am grateful for Valentines Day

For single people, Valentine’s Day is often pushed aside and replaced with something called “Singles Awareness Day” but I have always loved Valentine’s Day.  I love that there is a day devoted to sharing, sowing and express love, not just in a romantic way but in the way that God expects us to. Christ told his disciples that the greatest commandment is “to love The Lord thy God with all thy heart and the second is like unto it ... to Love they neighbour as yourself”(Mark 22: 37-39).

171. Today I am grateful for love

I am grateful for love, both as a feeling and as an action. It is wonderful to know and feel that I am loved by family, friends, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I am also grateful for the perfect example of love as shown by Christ.

170. Today I am grateful for Sacrament Meeting

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sunday consist of three church meetings. Not every ward (congregation) has the meetings in the same order; however, most often sacrament meeting is the first meeting of the day. This meeting is held in the chapel and it is where we listen to speakers (normally ward members with assigned topics), sing hymns and partake of the sacrament. I recently wrote about my gratitude for the sacrament which can be read here. I am truly grateful for sacrament meeting where I can be uplifted and edified spiritually each week. 

169. Today I am grateful for the ability to speak

I am grateful that I am able to speak. I enjoy good conversations with others and sharing my thoughts and ideas. I used to be really shy and have worked hard to overcome that to the point that I feel comfortable talking to just about anyone. A lot of people describe me as quiet but outgoing at the same time. I just need to work on talking more to attractive men. J

168. Today I am greatful for the sesnse of taste

I am grateful for the ability to taste and enjoy delicious food and sensations (you know, like mint gum).  

167. Today I am grateful for the sense of smell

There are some good smells and some bad smells but I am grateful for the ability to smell. Good smells are pleasant to be around and helps me to enjoy things such as good food. Bad smells too serve a good purpose, for example, it lets me know that something needs to be cleaned, or I should leave or stay away from something.
