Why not?

I am really grateful for good friends that kick my butt until I get it in gear. I'm grateful for good books that teach me better ways of thinking. I'm grateful for the different skills that I've learned that have prepared me for the goals I'm undertaking now. I'm very grateful for my testimony of the restored gospel and the strength I'm gained from relying on it.
I'm grateful for trials. I'm not too thrilled when they come up, but I'm learning to adopt more of a 'why not?' attitude. Why not me that has bad luck? Why not me that has my difficulties? Father knew I could handle it and I will become stronger for it.
People accomplish amazing things all the time. Why not me? People overcome obstacles and conquer the impossible. Why not me?

Lost and Found

I'm really grateful that I found my wallet today! I absolutely needed to have it by today, as I am substituting for a few college classes and needed my ID. It had been lost for about two weeks. After losing patience several times, I got on my knees this morning and humbly asked if I could please find my wallet. Two minutes later, I found it on the floor under my desk.

I'd looked there several times and I'm sure it wasn't there before. I feel so lucky to have my Heavenly Father looking out for me. I'm really grateful that he's always there when I need help, and even when I don't. My goal this month is to put him first and really show him my gratitude by choosing to serve him.

Peace

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27.)

I'm so grateful to know that God doesn't want us to be afraid. He brings us hope and love and peace. I know that when I'm struggling the most I can turn my pain and mistakes over to my Savior and he will give me peace.
