Gratitude

I find that I am a little more grateful on the Sabbath. Maybe it's because I spend the day being taught the things of God or maybe simply because my Heavenly Father gave us this day as a day of rest. From the lessons we had today at church, I feel the need to express my gratitude that I know that I am a daughter of God. I know He know me and loves me. I was grateful for the reminder today in Relief Society that,
"As man now is, God once was; as God is now, man may be."
I have divine potential! Heavenly Father is there waiting to instruct and mold me into the woman He knows I can become. I am grateful for the divinity of motherhood and the opportunity I have to be a mother. What a sweet little boy He has blessed me with. I am grateful for my husband who stands strong and heads our family. Today, I reflected on family; both the one I came from and the one I am now building. How grateful I am for eternal families. I know without a doubt that if I choose the right in this mortality, I will be able to be with all of my loved ones again. I look forward with eager anticipation to the day I will again get to see my dad. I missed him today. I am grateful for a mother who has endlessly supported me and counselled with me, especially now with my role as a mother. I am grateful for tender baby cuddles and sweet, slobbery kisses given freely.

Sometimes I feel that sentimentality makes my thoughts jumbled but there you have some of the few things for which I am grateful for today. What are you grateful for?
