257. Today I am grateful to study conference talks

Today I started the spring semester of Institute where we will be studying the most recent conference talks. I really excited to do a more in-depth study of the words of our leaders.  

256. Today I am grateful for ward temple trips

I enjoy going to the temple with my ward as I feel that it brings unity to ward members who attend together.

255. Today I am grateful for rain

I am grateful for rain as it helps the flowers, food and grass, etc. to grow. It also stabilizes our water supply which is necessary to sustain life.  Rainy days also remind me of home (out in the Vancouver area). Trust me; I will take rain over snow any day, especially in the winter. Some people will disagree with me but I think a lot of it has to do with what you grow up with.

254. Today I am grateful for the Scriptures

As a Latter-day Saint there are four books that we recognize as scriptures; The Book of Mormon, the Holy Bible (Old Testament and New Testament), The Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. I have previously written posts sharing my gratitude specifically for the Holy Bible and The Book of Mormon.  I am grateful for access to all these scriptures which prove to me God’s love for all his people; In days of old in the Holy Lands and the Americas and in more current times as found in the Doctrine and Covenants. Although we do know that the Bible and Book of Mormon were written for our day when it is available to many people throughout the world. I look forward to the day when these books of scripture will be available to everyone throughout the whole world.

Learn more about each of these books of scripture.

253. Today I am grateful for a Mani & Pedi

I enjoy treating myself to a manicure and pedicure every now and then. It’s not something I do very often but I enjoy the relaxation that comes with it and how great my hands and feet feel and how pretty my nails look.

252. Today I am grateful to improve my Frisbee throwing skills

I enjoy playing sports and sporty type of games although I am not particularly good at them. I enjoy playing with people who are understanding of that and willing to help me out and teach me some new skills. Tonight I am grateful for friends who helped me improve my Frisbee throwing skills ... it was pretty fun too!

251. Today I am grateful that the warmth is finally here!

Although we had a relatively mild winter it just didn’t seem to really warm up through the spring. However today was quite warm and I can finally wear my shorts, Capri’s and flip flops.
