Its 9/11 and its a sad day!! You can feel it all around, everyone is remembering that day 10 years ago as we watched a terrorist attack on our home. As the towers went down and as we watched the heroes and the family of people waiting to see if their love you survived. I remember that day as I cried and hurt for the people. How sad it was, our children were send home from school and many businesses closed down so that people could go home to their families.
Today at church our theme was gratitude. I love this thought. One of the speakers talked about it and quoted this he found a meaning of it.
Gratitude is a feeling of thankfulness for blessings or benefits we have received. Grateful people are quick to acknowledge the kindness and help they receive from our Heavenly Father and others around them.
Where there is gratitude, there is courtesy; there is a concern for the happiness and well-being of others.
Isn't this true. I know when I remember to be grateful I am a nicer person who looks to see how to become more Christ like. I wonder if everyone spend more time expressing this and less time finding fault what a better place our world would be.
I am grateful for my freedom, the Book of Mormon, the Savior, my husband, my family and friends. I am grateful I was born in this time and not 100 years ago nor not 10 years ago. I am grateful for love and beauty. I am grateful it takes everyone to make the world go around. I am grateful we are all different and that is what makes life so interesting:)
