300. Today I am grateful for a wonderful influence in my life

I am grateful for such a wonderful influence in my life. My Grandma passed away today. There aren't a lot of words that come to mind right now amidst the grief I feel. The first thing that came to mind after I had processed what had happened is the scripture found in ... "And her children shall rise up and call her blessed".

This may also seem selfish of me but I am also sad that I never did get married during her lifetime. For the past several years at the end of every phone call, Grandma would say "I will pray for you that you will find someone special ... by Christmas (of whatever year it was), you will be married". Also ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to name my first daughter Elisabeth, after my Grandma. She would have been so happy to know that she had a great granddaughter named after her.

299. Today I am grateful for my Grandma

I am grateful for my Grandma. I got a call today from my sister who had talked to my mom saying that my Grandma is very week (she has been in the hospital for a bout a month) and it Isn't very likely that my Grandma will make it through the night. I so wish I could be there with her right now.

298. Today I am grateful for late night talks with roommates

Something I have enjoyed with most of the roommates I have had is late night chats. During these conversations I feel that I have come to know these girls at a deeper level which helps to strengthen relationships. I am also grateful for former roommates who I continue to be friends with.

I am grateful for food containers and use them often: In packing my lunch, storing leftovers and freezing food.

296. Today I am grateful for the Primary Program

I am grateful for the primary program of the church and the opportunity that I had to attend. It is in Primary where we learn some of the most important things, such as: We are all children of God and he loves each one of us, the scriptures are the word of God, Jesus taught people to love one another, Jesus died for us so that we can live with him again, Families are forever, etc.

295. Today I am grateful that for the values that I have

I feel that my values help me to make good choices and strive to be a better person. I am grateful for positive influences that have helped me to maintain the values that I have.
